It didn’t not work in Seattle, but it certainly wasn’t a booming success either.
The 2024 free agency class continues to scatter.
One of the more expensive signings by the Seattle Seahawks during the 2024 offseason was Safety Rayshawn Jenkins. He started pretty well, including one of the best highlights of the year against the New York Giants, but got injured, faded down the stretch and ultimately gave way to Coby Bryant, now a presumed starter.

Released by the team in March, Jenkins had to wait until after the draft but appears to have his new home, and his new quarterback…gaggle.
The Cleveland Browns it is! Multiple sources are reporting Jenkins is headed to Ohio.

Seattle paid Jenkins $6.5 million for his services last year, and have $2.5 million as dead cap for him in the 2025 season. That’s actually the fifth-highest dead cap on the books.
Jenkins did set a career-high in sacks last year with two. He also finished with 53 tackles, half of his mark the previous two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. His 113 passer rating allowed was also the worst of his career.
