Doug Baldwin is the latest Seahawks legend cut by Seattle
- The Seahawks officially parted ways with two more key players from that era on Thursday by releasing receiver Doug Baldwin, 30, and Chancellor, 31, with failed-physical designations.
- The Chancellor release is not news as much as paperwork catching up to reality.
- Chancellor was a fifth-round draft pick in 2010 who almost immediately became one of the best, hardest-hitting strong safeties in the league.
- But after he suffered a neck injury in 2017, he announced his retirement in an emotional social media post last July that ended, “P.S. Pray for your boy. I have no clue how these head injuries will go after the game. What I do know is that my God is stronger. Peace and Love.”
- Baldwin’s release is new but expected.
- Rumors around Baldwin’s health circulated this offseason and reached new heights with Seattle’s selection of D.K. Metcalf with the last pick of the second round in the 2019 NFL draft.
- He missed the entire preseason last year with a knee injury, and when he returned in Week 1, he suffered an MCL tear in his other knee.
- With the release of Baldwin, who will carry a $6.3 million cap hit for 2019, the Seahawks will have a receiving corps led by wide receiver Tyler Lockett, Jaron Brown, David Moore, and rookies Metcalf and Gary Jennings Jr., plus tight ends Will Dissly and Nick Vannett.
