Seahawks Cut Rookie for Trying to Sneak Woman Into Team Hotel
Life comes at you fast.
Kemah Siverand was an undrafted free agent who linked up with the Seattle Seahawks for his rookie season. However, he was cut this week for trying to sneak a woman into the team hotel, which was caught on video.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Thursday Seattle cut Siverand, an undrafted free agent, after he was caught on video trying to sneak a female visitor into the team hotel, per sources informed of the situation. The woman was wearing Seahawks gear in an attempt to disguise her as a player, Pelissero added.
Siverand’s attempt to welcome a visitor into the team hotel was a violation of team rules, especially during a camp that is operating amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With outside contact expected to be at a minimum if at all, jeopardizing the rest of Seattle’s team by inviting an outside visitor into the team’s hotel was a violation the Seahawks could not overlook.
This is usually not allowed even during a normal season, so nobody should be surprised he was cut. If Russell Wilson was sneaking Ciara into the hotel, it would be a different situation, but Siverand was a UDFA and an easy guy to make an example out of.
By far, the best part of this story is that he attempted to disguise the woman as a player. I imagine it went something like the scene from Scary Movie, where Shawn Wayans asks his girlfriend to put on his football uniform in the bedroom:
