Roster moves: Seahawks sign WR Ty Scott, release CB Andrew Whitaker

Roster moves: Seahawks sign WR Ty Scott, release CB Andrew Whitaker

The Seattle Seahawks are in a full swing with training camp this week, and they certainly are staying active. On Thursday, it was announced they are adding yet another former UFL wide receiver into the mix. The Seahawks signed Ty Scott, a former DC Defender and Missouri State Bear.

To make room for this addition, Seattle released cornerback Andrew Whitaker.

Ty Scott joins fellow former UFL wide receiver, Marcus Simms, as a pair of spring league players to earn another shot in the NFL. Simms was signed on July 16th.

Scott made the most of his opportunity in our nation’s capital last year, hauling in 25 receptions for 418 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Defenders went 4-6 and did not qualify for the playoffs.

As for his college stats, during his two years at Missouri State he recorded 1,784 total receiving yards. However, his final year of 2022 only saw 674 yards, likely leading him to be undrafted going into 2023.

After a short stint with the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason, Scott now has his second opportunity in the league. This time, with the Seattle Seahawks.

Chiefs waive Missouri State WR Ty Scott

The #Chiefs have waived an undrafted wide receiver from Missouri State to make room for their latest signing.

The Kansas City Chiefs have waived another undrafted free agent that was signed following the 2023 NFL draft.

According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Monday, the Chiefs have waived Missouri State WR Tyrone “Ty” Scott. This is the corresponding move to make room for Kansas State CB Ekow Boye-Doe, who was signed after a tryout invite at the team’s rookie minicamp from May 6-8.

The 24-year-old Scott, listed at 6-foot-2 and 199 pounds, was coming off a 2022 campaign at Missouri State where he recorded 48 receptions, 674 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He joined the Bears in 2021 after spending time at Central Michigan.

Scott is now the fourth undrafted free agent the team signed following the 2023 NFL draft to be waived by the team. He joins his Missouri State teammate Montrae Braswell, Tarleton State OL Blake Haynes and Missouri S Martez Manuel, who’ve all been released in the time following rookie minicamp.

This transaction now brings the roster back to 90 players. If the Chiefs want to make any other signings ahead of OTAs next week, they’ll need to make a corresponding roster move to create room on the 90-man offseason roster.
