Today is the first day that teams can make cuts in the NFL. Usually it's for salary cap reasons. But with the sizeable increase in cap space, you probably won't see very many big name cuts. So in a surprising move, the Seahawks cut CB Kelly Herndon. You might remember, Herndon returned an interception in Super Bowl XL 61 yards (a Super Bowl record). The Hawks will save about one million in cap space with the move. It may not have been a total cap move. Herndon was also rehabbing from an ankle injury. He broke his ankle in the first quarter of a meaningless Tampa Bay game. Herndon was covering Joey Galloway and they both went up for a "jump ball". Galloway accidently came down on Herndon's leg. The former Hawk may have been healing to slowly. Even still, the Seahawks should be all right at corner. Seattle still has starter Marcus Trufant, Kelly Jennings, Josh Wilson, Jordan Babineaux, and playoffs hero Pete Hunter. Now the question is: "who will start opposite Trufant?" Jennings is probably the front runner because Big Play Babs flexibility is pretty valuable. Babs can float from safety to corner. The Hawks also cut T Steve Morely.
