Seattle Seahawks Release DL Kentwan Balmer

The Seattle Seahawks released defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer on August 24. Balmer, he had been struggling to find a role on the Seahawks lately.

Now that he is unemployed, he may just have to play bingo online for money to replace his lofty NFL salary.

Although, he did play in all 16 games last year, alot of the reason was due to injuries suffered by Red Bryant and Brandon Mebane. He actually finished the year with a career-high 43 tackles.

But recently, Seattle signed Alan Branch and Jimmy Wilkerson. Add to that that both Bryant and Mebane are healthy and there just wasn't much room left for Kentwan.

The Seahawks have probably had more personell turnover in the past two years than any team I can remember.  Ever since Pete Carol was hired as the head coach, Seattle has been in a complete rebuilding mode as Pete Carol has certain physical features he is looking for in his players.

For example, he likes tall, athletic wide receivers as well as big and tall wide receivers.  With Tavaris Jackson at quarterback this year, the Seahawks will need to big linemen to give him maximum protection.
