The Seahawks issues with players is a growing concern
By Braulio Perez
If you're a Seattle Seahawks fan, you've got to have growing concern for the issues the front office is having with players. While the Russell Wilson drama has been well documented, the latest reports with Jarran Reed are a big-time concern.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks tried to restructure Reed's deal for salary cap purposes. Normally, these conversations go pretty smoothly, right? Well, things got so bad between the two sides that the relationship can't be fixed and Reed is on his way out of town. What the heck?
Usually, cap conversions for space are easy. But Jarran Reed wanted a long-term commitment instead. When Seattle wouldn’t give it... the situation went to a bad spot. Now, parting ways. https://t.co/gwAhF11zVt

Reed was beloved by Seahawks supporters. He's a beast in the trenches and does a great job of applying pressure on opposing quarterbacks and plugging up holes in the middle. Now, the defensive tackle will be playing elsewhere in 2021.
While John Schneider has done amazing things for the franchise and helped them win its first Super Bowl, all of the soap opera-type storylines this offseason have been frustrating to see.
