Seahawks cut RG J’Marcus*Webb
 

(Meant to put this on the NFL forum)

Worth a look?

The Seahawks released offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb on Tuesday.

Webb had started the first three games of the season at right guard with rookie Germain Ifedi injured. He had played on special teams and as a backup after Ifedi’s return but was inactive for last week’s win over the Eagles.

Is the same team that cut Jhari Evans? Then heck yeah! Seriously though I wonder why he is on the market? Did they make a roster move and have to make room by cutting him?

Making sense of the Seahawks' decision to waive J'Marcus Webb
7:25 PM ET

Sheil KapadiaESPN Writer

For the second week in a row, the Seattle Seahawks have waived one of their veteran offensive players.

Last week, it was running back Christine Michael. This Tuesday, it was offensive lineman J'Marcus Webb.

The Seahawks signed Webb to a two-year, $5.75 million deal in the offseason. The contract included $2.45 million in guaranteed money. Webb began the spring as the first-team right tackle, but he couldn't hold onto the job.

When first-round pick Germain Ifedi suffered an ankle injury before the opener, Webb stepped in and started three games at right guard. Once Ifedi got healthy, Webb served a backup role.

In Week 11, though, he was inactive. Starting left tackle George Fant suffered a shoulder injury during the game, and rookie Rees Odhiambo filled in for 10 snaps and played well.

What Webb had going for him was experience and versatility. The Seahawks paid him a signing bonus of $1.2 million, and they're still on the hook for the remaining part of his $1.25 million base salary ($468,750). Webb's deal included a roster bonus of $31,250 per game, so the Seahawks no longer have to pay that ($187,500) for the final six games.

And clearly they had no plans of bringing Webb back on the second year of his deal.

As Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times pointed out, this is the second year in a row that the Seahawks' highest-paid outside free agent didn't last the year. Seattle cut cornerback Cary Williams before last season was over.

Because the deadline has passed, the Webb signing will still count against the Seahawks when compensatory picks are calculated.

Seattle now has eight offensive linemen on the 53-man roster, four of whom are rookies. The starters from left to right are: Fant, Mark Glowinski, Justin Britt, Germain Ifedi and Garry Gilliam.

The backups are center Joey Hunt, Odhiambo and swing tackle Bradley Sowell.

The Seahawks have not yet officially replaced Webb with another player, so they have one open roster spot.

Looks like we're not the only ones missing on free agents lately.

Re: Seahawks cut RG J’Marcus*Webb
 

Heck no.

Webb is a liability in both run and pass blocking ... swinging door. Not a chance you want this guy protecting Brees or anyone else for that matter.

This is the only guy that made Jay Cutler mad during the game. Get your QB killed and then laugh on the sideline. lol
