Kirkland, WA (My Sportsbook) - The Seattle Seahawks released safety Deon Grant and re-signed defensive end Darryl Tapp Monday. Grant ranked among the team leaders in tackles in each of his three seasons with the club, including a career-high 79 in 2008. But, he played the final six games last season with a hurt ligament in his left wrist that required surgery. The 31-year old has spent his 10-year career with Carolina, Jacksonville and the Seahawks and has registered 640 tackles and 26 interceptions in 144 games. Tapp signed a tender that the club offered when he became a restricted free agent two weeks ago. Last season, he played in all 16 games and recorded 49 tackles and three passes defensed. In his four-year career, all with Seattle, he has 186 tackles, eight forced fumbles and 11 passes defensed in 64 games. The Seahawks also released long snapper Matt Overton. |
