NFL: Seahawks release wide receiver Keary Colbert

Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — Wide receiver Keary Colbert was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday following a disappointing stint with the team.

Colbert came to Seattle in a trade with Denver on Sept. 17. The Seahawks gave up an undisclosed draft pick to acquire him, hoping he would boost an injury-depleted receiving corps.

But Colbert struggled to get involved in the offense, catching only seven passes in seven games with one touchdown. He also had a critical drop on third down early in the fourth quarter of Seattle's 21-19 loss at Miami last Sunday.

In addition to the Broncos, Colbert previously played for Carolina.
