Ed Dickson News
The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Ed Dickson on Tuesday, according to a source. Dickson was due $3 million in 2020, and the Seahawks will save most of that money with his release. The 32-year-old veteran played in just 10 games (one start) in his only season in Seattle, catching 12 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns. He has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons and will be, at best, a depth option for another team on the open market. Dickson's release was expected after the team signed Greg Olsen in free agency. They also have Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister returning.
The Seattle Seahawks could release tight end Ed Dickson and save $3 million against the salary cap in order to free up some space to sign either defensive end Everson Griffen or Jadeveon Clowney. They could also look to cut safety Tedric Thompson ($2.1 million cap savings) or center Justin Britt ($8.75 million savings). Britt is coming off season-ending knee surgery and Thompson was benched last year. Dickson, 33 this summer, played in just 10 games in 2019 due to injury and made 12 catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns. With Greg Olsen now on the team and Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister also on the depth chart, it might be best anyway for Dickson to find another home.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee) is "ready this week to go" in Week 10 against the 49ers on Monday night. Dickson must be activated off the Injured Reserve before making his season debut this week. Seattle will now have Dickson, Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister at tight end with Will Dissly done for the season. Hollister has been the best TE2 in fantasy since Dissly went down, but Dickson's presence will hurt his chances of making a significant impact. Don't expect Dickson to play a heavy amount of snaps on Monday night, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes.
