The Seahawks are releasing wide receiver Ben Obomanu.

On his verified Twitter account Friday, Obomanu seemed to indicate he would be moving on, and he confirmed to PFT’s Curtis Crabtree that his time with Seattle was coming to an end.

Per Crabtree, the 29-year-old Obomanu was slated to make $2.3 million in salary this season.

Obomanu caught four passes for 58 yards in eight games for Seattle in 2012. A wrist injury ended his season. He projected to be behind Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin at wide receiver in 2013.

Obomanu has 87 career catches for 1,209 yards and seven TDs, all with Seattle, which drafted him in Round Seven in 2006.
