The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the best teams in the National Football League at moving off of players at exactly the right time.
General manager John Schneider, coming from the notoriously financially skeptical Green Bay Packers regime under Ted Thompson, has never been afraid to move off big names, even when they are flying high.
Just this offseason â merely a month after winning Super Bowl LX â Schneider declined to tag or extender Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker and Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen.
But one player who has managed to distinctly shine in his post-Seattle days is tight end Colby Parkinson. Parkinson put up a career high 408 receiving yards in 2025 in addition to maintaining his status as a reliable blocker in the run game at his intimidating 6’7, 266 lb frame, in his second year with division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams.
However, despite Parkinson’s strong work last season, Alex Kay of Bleacher Report believes that the former Seahawk could end up being a cap casualty for the Rams by the end of training camp in August.
Colby Parkinson Could Be the Odd Man Out in Busy TE Room
“The problem for Los Angeles is that its tight ends room may now be too crowded.” Kay wrote. “The Rams added second-round pick Max Klare and several undrafted free agents this offseason, including intriguing prospect Dan Villari. Those newcomers join veterans Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson, along with recent draft picks Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen.”
Despite Parkinson’s impressive season last year, Kay contends that contractually Parkinson may be the most natural roster cut at the position that already has an array of younger (and cheaper names).
Can Colby Parkinson Maintain His 2025 Level in 2026?
