May 1, 2009 (News Tribune delivered by Newstex ) --
The Seattle Seahawks released cornerback DeMichael Dizer and long snapper Tyler Schmitt this morning. Dizer tore his the ACL in his knee during training camp last season. Schmitt, drafted in the sixth round last year, had back issues and was put on the injured reserve list.
Schmitt was trying to make a comeback, but apparently the team felt they wanted to go in a different direction.
Here's he updated roster, which includes the free agent tryouts added today.
Also, linebacker Leroy Hill signed his contract today and is expected to participate in today's practice.
Some tidbits.
Ken Lucas will wear No. 29. Max Unger No. 60. Deon Butler No. 85. Courtney Greene is 37.
I'll have more later.
