The Seahawks are planning to release DeShawn Shead on Monday in a procedural move, but they hope to re-sign him, as Brady Henderson of ESPN.com writes. Shead’s contract tolled, but Seattle is honoring a promise made to him by allowing him to explore free agency. 
The Seahawks will be up against other suitors for the 28-year-old (29 in June), including the Lions. After moving on from Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane in recent days, the Seahawks would ideally like to maintain some consistency in the secondary.
The Seahawks have four cornerbacks under contract for 2018, but only one – Shaquill Griffin – has started for the team.
