The cuts came at the league‑mandated deadline, forcing Seattle to trim its squad to meet roster limits. Heavy.com noted the surprising nature of releasing a player with a $97 million contract, suggesting financial flexibility may have driven the decision.
Seattle’s official site quoted Diggs saying, “I’m Ready To Help This Team Win,” while NBC Sports reported that head coach John Schneider is considering adding him to the practice squad. The mix of statements and roster moves leaves open the question of how Seattle will fill the secondary vacancy and whether Diggs will remain with the organization in a reduced role.
