The Seattle Seahawks waived rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand on Tuesday, but it now appears there is more to the story than a simple roster move.
“The Seahawks cut rookie CB Kemah Siverand this week after he was caught on video trying to sneak a female visitor into the team hotel, per sources,” NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero tweeted on Thursday. “Clear message on the responsibility everyone has in the NFL’s COVID-19 world: Put the team at risk, suffer the consequences.”
Seattle made no mention of the violation when the public relations account tweeted the transaction or in the press release on the team’s website . . . and perhaps for good reason.
“The woman was wearing Seahawks gear in an attempt to disguise her as a player, I’m told,” Pelissero added in an additional tweet. “It did not work.”
Siverand had signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State in May.
