The Seattle Seahawks are falling short of expectations under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald.
Seattle is 4-5 heading into this weekend’s matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. It looks like Seattle isn’t anticipating turning the season around, and has decided to cut costs where necessary. The Seahawks are letting go of one of the leaders of their defense, per one prominent league insider.
“A surprise: The (Seahawks) are releasing LB Tyrel Dodson, who has started every game this season, per (Brady Henderson). He has 71 tackles on the season,” reported league insider Ari Meirov.
