Seahawks Hosted Five Including DT Vernon Butler

Seattle also brought in four other players for tryouts on Tuesday. The full list includes:

1. QB Jack Coan
2. WR Dai’Jean Dixon
3. WR Jazz Newsome
4. WR Easop Winston
5. DT Vernon Butler (visit) 

Butler, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Panthers back in 2016. He finished out a four-year, $8.4 million contract with the team and made a base salary of $1,144,980 for the 2019 season.

The Panthers then declined Butler’s fifth-year option worth $7.69 million, which allowed him to test the open market as an unrestricted free agent. He landed a two-year contract with the Bills and played out the deal before opting to sign with the Raiders last year. 

Butler returned to the Raiders on a one-year deal this past March but was cut loose earlier this month. 

In 2021, Butler appeared in 10 games for the Bills and recorded 11 total tackles.
