If think if Berry is ready to go at FS we can find someone passable at SS.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks are expected to cut DT Malik McDowell "in the near future."
The 35th overall pick in last year's draft, McDowell didn't play a snap as a rookie after suffering severe injuries in an offseason ATV accident. McDowell was then arrested last December for disorderly conduct in Atlanta. McDowell was a top-20 prospect on talent alone coming out of Michigan State in 2017, but fell in the draft due to off-field concerns, which now appear warranted.

This might be a contributing factor in why Eric Reid is not being signed.
After the Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross raised the idea of a “march on Washington” by N.F.L. players and owners, Eric Reid, Kaepernick’s former teammate and the first player to kneel alongside him, brought the discussion back to Kaepernick.
Reid, who attended the meeting wearing a Kaepernick T-shirt over his dress shirt and tie, said that his former teammate was being blackballed.
“I feel like he was hung out to dry,” Reid said of Kaepernick. “Everyone in here is talking about how much they support us.” The room fell quiet. “Nobody stepped up and said we support Colin’s right to do this. We all let him become Public Enemy No. 1 in this country, and he still doesn’t have a job.”
Man, I don't give a flying fuck about kneeling during the anthem. And I'm a fucking veteran, so spare me your outrage. I'd take Reid AND Kaepernick (as a back-up of course) in a heartbeat. I do not in any way think this should be a red flag. Whether your agree with their choice of protest or not, they have a point worth hearing. [Reply]
Screw them both. Keep your personal and political feelings off the field. I watch and go to games as an escape from all the bulls@#% in the world. What you do on your own time is perfectly fine. The only reason they kneel at games is that if they were to protest anywhere else, no one would care. Why the owners/NFL allows this is beyond me. [Reply]
