(Renton, WA)  --  A rookie linebacker is departing Seattle and a veteran is taking his place.  The Seahawks have waived Christian French, an undrafted rookie free agent from Oregon who was injured during a minicamp practice more than a week ago.  He's being replaced by former Saints fourth-round pick Khairi Fortt, who played in three games for Jacksonville in 2014 but didn't play last season.  The "Seattle Times" reports if French clears waivers, he could stay with the Seahawks and be placed on their Injured Reserve list.
