3 potential cut candidates who should be on Seahawks radar

[ASFN Admin]

The Seattle Seahawks will continue entertaining opportunities to improve their roster throughout training camp and the preseason. Bleacher Report recently wrote an article identifying five potential cut candidates around the league who should be on every team's radar. These three in particular should intrigue the Seahawks.

Kendrick Bourne, WR, New England Patriots​

The New England Patriots have a crowded wide receiver room and the 30-year-old Kendrick Bourne is due $5.5 million in base salary. Bourne would potentially compete for the WR3 role in Seattle with free-agent signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Seahawks could use another veteran depth piece at receiver, allowing rookies Ricky White III and Tory Horton additional time to acclimate.

Jamel Dean, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers​

The Seahawks have been mulling a veteran addition at cornerback all offseason long. B/R lists Jamel Dean as a potential cut candidate for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dean is on a bloated contract and missed a career-high five games due to injury last season. He'd provide Mike Macdonald's secondary with fantastic depth behind Riq Woolen, Devon Witherspoon, and Josh Jobe.

Trey Pipkins III, OL, Los Angeles Chargers​

Better offensive line depth is always needed in Seattle. Trey Pipkins III is a versatile blocker who could be on the Los Angeles Chargers' chopping block this offseason. Pipkins possesses tackle-guard flexibility, but the Chargers have drafted Joe Alt, Rashawn Slater, and Zion Johnson in recent years, making his near $7 million in base salary expendable.
