Seahawks Waive OL Isaiah Battle

The Seahawks have waived offensive lineman Isaiah Battle, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times (on Twitter). The move will make room on the 53-man roster for newly acquired tackle Duane BrownIsaiah Battle (vertical)

The Seahawks acquired Battle in an early September trade with the Seahawks. Although Seattle reserved a 53-man roster spot for him at the time, he did not see live action in his seven weeks with the team.

Battle, a 6’7″ lineman out of Clemson, first entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Rams in the 2015 supplemental draft. Coming out of college, Battle drew comparisons to Alabama product D.J. Fluker, a first-round pick in the 2013 draft. At the same time, teams were worried about his off-the-field issues.

He’ll try to put it all together for another NFL team. Because he is not a vested veteran, he will be subject to the waiver wire. If he is not claimed by one of the league’s 31 other teams in the next 24 hours, he will be a free agent. If that happens, he could be a candidate for the Seahawks’ practice squad.
