Overview

• Valdes-Scantling exits after signing a one-year, $4 million deal that included $3 million guaranteed in March.
• Seattle absorbs roughly $3 million in dead money and realizes about $955,000 in immediate cap savings.
• The team attempted to trade the 30-year-old before releasing him, according to local reporting.
• Fifth-round rookie Tory Horton outperformed him in camp and is expected to be the No. 3 receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.
• As a vested veteran he becomes a free agent immediately, and offsets could reclaim part of his guarantees if he signs elsewhere, with one estimate around $1.255 million.
