Darren Waller Blasts Brian Daboll: "Giants' Costly Mistake Cost Me—But Big Blue's Learned Hard Lessons!"

Seattle, Washington – November 26, 2025 The Seattle Seahawks made one of the week’s most surprising moves when they suddenly placed Derion Kendrick on waivers. But only hours after the unexpected decision, the situation took an emotional and dramatic turn that immediately caught the attention of the entire 12s community. Kendrick, 25 years old, with 251 career tackles, publicly declared his one and only wish: to return to Seattle no matter what, even saying he is willing to take a pay cut just to wear the navy blue jersey again. It was a twist few saw coming. Just weeks ago, Kendrick was carving out an important role in Seattle’s defense. After being cut by the Rams before preseason, the Seahawks claimed him off waivers and essentially revived his career. Kendrick rewarded that trust with steady production: 10 games played, 7 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 2 interceptions and 5 pass deflections. While not a headline star, he became a reliable piece of Mike Macdonald’s defensive structure. The decision to release him is believed to be tied to roster mechanics, IR activations, and depth chart shifts — adjustments that did not necessarily reflect his performance, but rather the unavoidable moves that come with the midseason roster crunch. What truly stunned the fan base, however, was Kendrick’s emotional response. With no bitterness and no frustration, he spoke with a sense of gratitude and a clear longing to stay in Seattle: “Seattle saved me when the rest of the league turned away, and I never wanted to leave the place that made me feel like I was living my dream again; if there is even the smallest chance to stay, I’m willing to take a pay cut, willing to sacrifice anything just to step on the field in a Seahawks uniform one more time.” His words spread rapidly throughout the 12s community, creating a wave of sympathy and pride. For many fans, this wasn’t the statement of a player who had just been cut — it was the heartfelt confession of someone who genuinely loves this team. Analysts now believe that if Kendrick clears waivers without being claimed by another franchise, the Seahawks could bring him back on the practice squad or elevate him later to add depth to a secondary that has been hit hard by injuries. At this point, the question isn’t whether Kendrick wants to return.The real question is: will Seattle open the door again for a player who has shown unwavering loyalty and a desire to fight for this team?
