Seattle Seahawks preseason star Jamie Sheriff waived by Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have moved on from one of many Seattle Seahawks’ high preseason performers.

Undrafted rookie outdoors linebacker Jamie Sheriff was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday. Carolina has achieved some roster reshuffling after putting star defensive lineman Derrick Brown on injured reserve, and with the upcoming addition of Charles Harris it appears as if that impacted Sheriff’s roster spot.

If there was a controversial or closely debated Seahawks roster minimize this yr, it was Sheriff. He recorded three sacks and 5 quarterback hits and was the staff’s best cross rusher in preseason. When Darrell Taylor was traded to the Chicago Bears and Uchenna Nwosu suffered a knee harm in opposition to the Cleveland Browns, it seemed like there was an opportunity for Sheriff to make the energetic roster. Even after he was waived, there was hope he would clear waivers so he may land on the apply squad, however the Panthers claimed him.

Sheriff performed 17 snaps in his NFL debut, primarily with the sport method out of hand in opposition to the New Orleans Saints, and didn’t report any stats.

As soon as once more, Sheriff might want to clear waivers to be able to develop into a free agent. If he’s claimed, he’ll must land on an energetic roster. If he isn’t claimed, then he may signal to an energetic roster or a apply squad, through which case… convey Jamie again, John Schneider?
