Field Gulls
Last week the Seattle front office took a flyer on an undrafted former track star, but the underdog story came to a quick conclusion.
The Seattle Seahawks have reached the offseason portion of the offseason, with any news that gets reported over the next five plus weeks related to either a suspension or offseason injury, meaning no news is good news.
However, the front office added intrigue and the ability for fans to dream during that timeframe by creating an open roster spot by releasing an undrafted free agent who had signed with the Seahawks barely a week ago.
Mitch Van Vooren played for the Division III St. Norbert Green Knights for two seasons after running out of eligibility in track and field after competing for five years at Marquette and St. Norbert.
The roster spot created by waiving Van Vooren gives the front office the flexibility to add a veteran free agent between now and the start of training camp next month, should they decide that is necessary ahead of players reporting in late July.
