Seahawks Claim Two Players, Release CB Artie Burns

The team also claimed DB Kyu Blu Kelly from the Ravens and LB Thomas Drake from the Raiders.

Burns, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Steelers back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $9.59 million rookie contract. 

Pittsburgh elected to decline Burns’ fifth-year option for 2020 and he later signed a one-year contract with the Bears. Chicago re-signed him to another one-year deal for 2021. 

From there, the Seahawks signed Burns to a one-year deal last offseason.

In 2022, Burns appeared in three games for the Seahawks. He did not record any statistics.
