Seahawks waive wide receiver Braylon Edwards
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks have cut wide receiver Braylon Edwards after a season during which he had little impact on the offense and placed starting left guard James Carpenter on the season-ending reserve/non-football illness list.
Seattle made the moves Tuesday afternoon. Edwards was waived with an injury distinction, but no specific injury was cited. The Seahawks now have just five healthy wide receivers.
Edwards had just eight catches for 74 yards and one touchdown in 10 games.
Carpenter returned from a serious knee injury last season and started seven games for the Seahawks at left guard. But he left early in Sunday's win over Chicago after experiencing what Pete Carroll called a sharp pain in his surgically repaired knee. Seattle signed offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson from the practice squad.

He "only" averaged 9+ yards per catch
@Itsbroken
Shoot, I would take that!!!!
Not a great year for Edwards, if he makes that TD catch (not saying the refs got the call right) he's probably still on the team.
What exactly does this mean?
What's the benefit?

 @bobalouie Opening spots on the roster. he was a waste of space. 1TD and 9 receptions in 12 games is not a good ration. Plus we have some decent young WR's and Rice and Tate are playing very well right now.

 @bobalouie Could mean they are preparing to add a couple CBs with Sherman and Browner's looming suspensions.
i agree on what you said about cb's
