Former Vol Grant released by Seahawks

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks re-signed defensive end Darryl Tapp and released starting safety Deon Grant on Monday, part of the continuing changes under new coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.

Grant started all 48 games during his three seasons in Seattle and has started 144 consecutive games. Grant had 78 tackles and three interceptions last season.

The former Tennessee Vol Grant, 31, was scheduled to make $4 million next season.

Just another shaft from the west coast. Maybe he can get signed as a free agent opposite EB. What a backfield that would make! GBO

It's not a "shaft," it's business. Get over it. "from the West Coast"? what in God's acre are you talking about? Perhaps they've got an idea they'll get a better safety in the draft.
