The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cody Thompson on Wednesday to help replace Deven Thompkins (hamstring), who was placed on Injured Reserve this week. Thompson will be competing for a roster spot at training camp this summer and during the preseason after catching his only target for 10 yards in seven games played for the Seahawks in his second season in the NFL. The 28-year-old pass-catcher joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo in 2021 and was active for five games, but he didn't see a single target. Even if Thompson makes the roster heading into the 2024 regular season, he'll be buried on the receiver depth chart and is completely off the fantasy radar.
The Seattle Seahawks re-signed wide receiver Cody Thompson to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Originally an undrafted free agent out of Toledo, Thompson first signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 before joining Seattle's practice squad later that year. He also spent time on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad before re-signing with Seattle. He has appeared in only five games (in 2021), playing mostly on special teams for the Seahawks. The 27-year-old pass-catcher spent all of the 2022 season on Injured Reserve after suffering a shoulder injury in the first preseason game. Thompson will continue to provide receiver and special teams depth for Seattle in 2023.
