Just two years after being a fourth-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints, linebacker Khairi Fortt was out of the NFL last season.
Now he’s getting another chance with the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks signed Fortt on Monday to replace undrafted free agent signing Christian French on their active roster. French was waived/injured by Seattle and will land on the team’s injured reserve list if he clears waivers.
Fortt was placed on the reserve/designated to return injured list by the Saints at the conclusion of training camp in 2014. However, the Saints dumped him due to missing multiple team meetings and he never suited up in a regular season game for the franchise. After a stint on the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad, Fortt was signed the Jacksonville Jaguars active roster and appeared in three games.
Jacksonville released him at the conclusion of training camp in 2015 and he went unsigned the remainder of the season.
