Seahawks Bizarrely Cut 2019 4th Round Pick WR Gary Jennings
By Parker White
On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks activated rookie guard Phil Haynes from the PUP list, and with veteran receiver Josh Gordon being claimed off waivers recently, Seattle's wide receiver room apparently became too crowded, leading to the team cutting rookie wideout Gary Jennings.
Obviously, Jennings failed to make much of an impression since April.
Gary Jennings is a 4th round pick from the 2019 Draft, the #Seahawk are giving up on him early on. A team might claim him.

The 2019 fourth rounder has already been briefly placed on waivers before, but the Seahawks were able to keep the rookie wideout around a little while longer.
Jennings never saw the field for a team that's been in desperate need of a wide receiver up to this point. Now that they have Gordon, Jennings became expendable.

Even though this isn't a good look for Jennings, the 22-year-old should get a second opportunity, as he has NFL size at 6-1 while also running a 4.42 40-yard dash at the combine. His athleticism alone should get him on a new team looking for a project at wide receiver.
