Seahawks release wide receiver Keary Colbert
Wide receiver Keary Colbert has been cut by the Seattle Seahawks following a disappointing stint with the team in which he failed to meet expectations.
Wide receiver Keary Colbert has been cut by the Seattle Seahawks following a disappointing stint with the team in which he failed to meet expectations.
He came to Seattle in a trade with Denver on Sept. 17 and was released Tuesday. The Seahawks gave up an undisclosed draft pick to acquire the veteran, who they hoped would boost a receiving corps hit with massive injuries.
But Colbert struggled getting involved in the offense, catching only seven passes in seven games, with one touchdown. He also had a critical drop on third down early in the fourth quarter of Seattle's 21-19 loss at Miami last Sunday.
Colbert previously played for Carolina and with the Denver Broncos.
