The Jimmy Graham experiment didn't yield results in Seattle, but he's not the only player the Seahawks should consider cutting in the offseason.
Below is a complete list of players the team should sever ties with in 2016.
Marshawn Lynch Should Be A Comedian
Jimmy Graham
It's difficult to admit you made a mistake, but that's what the Seahawks must do in the case of Graham. In exchange for Max Unger and a first-round pick, Seattle received just 605 yards and two TDs from the TE.
Marshawn Lynch Is Just A Nice Guy
He's due $9 million next season, with no dead money attached to it. The Seahawks can cut their losses and keep every cent of it, per Spotrac.
J.R. Sweezy
J.R. Sweezy has started all but two games over the last three seasons, but there appears to be a replacement in Seattle. Mark Glowinski -- who was drafted in the fourth round of 2015's NFL Draft -- appeared in 10 games as a rookie.
He'll come much cheaper than Sweezy in 2016, who will demand a new contract as an unrestricted free agent.
Marshawn Lynch
Retirement or not, it's time for the Seahawks to move past Marshawn Lynch.
The man who should've been trusted to win Super Bowl XLIX was limited to just seven games in 2015 and underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia. He'll be on the wrong side of 30 come April.
The Seahawks could collect $5 million should Lynch decide to retire, which is the prorated amount of his signing bonus, per ESPN. Either way, it's best to avoid his $11.5 million cap hit as much as possible in 2016.
