The Seattle Seahawks have cut outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones and three other veterans in moves designed to create salary cap space ahead of the start of free agency. The 28-year-old Jones had 9 1/2 sacks in two seasons with the Seahawks, who signed him to a three-year, $51-million deal in 2023. Moving on from Jones freed up more than $11 million for Seattle, which missed the playoffs despite a 10-7 record. The Seahawks also released safety Rayshawn Jenkins, defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris and offensive lineman George Fant, who was limited to just two games in 2024 because of injury.
