Is it the Practice Squad because I just read he was signed to the 53

 

[silver]

Has anybody seen him play?

Korey Toomer LB from Seattle added to the practice squad.

Good pickup.

 

[cej757]

Ian Rapaport is saying 53 so he's probably wrong.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Toomer is a freakish athlete, but simply couldn't stay healthy at Seahawks camp. He's definitely worth a flier for the linebacker-needy Cowboys

I'll take it.

 

[fffiasco]

Could be the 53 not sure.

 

[frickster]

I would think he would go on the roster. Probably Cam Lawrence get the boot.

 

[bark]

This defense needs athletes. Is the kid still hurt?

 

[DuDa]

He's an athlete. 6-2, 234, ran a 4.53, 6.87 3 cone, 10-10 broad, 42 vert

 

[thunderpimp91]

Anyone know why he was cut? I remember hearing that Seattle was very high on the kid in training camp.

Can't stay healthy. Apparently healthy right now.

 

[Jstopper]

George Selvie 2.0?

 

[Texas_Pete]

He's an athlete. 6-2, 234, ran a 4.53, 6.87 3 cone, 10-10 broad, 42 vert

MLB? I never heard of the guy.

 

[DuDa]

MLB?

Everywhere I've seen has him listed at an OLB. Probably a WLB candidate with his athleticism.

 

[Alexander]

We showed interest in him when he came out.

Pete Carroll talking up third-year linebacker Korey Toomer
June 10, 2014

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has never been shy dumping praise upon players under his command.

The latest player to draw Carroll’s platitudes is third-year linebacker Korey Toomer.

Toomer has yet to appear in a regular season game for Seattle in his first two years with the team and missed all of last season due to injury. However, Carroll has singled out Toomer’s performance as one of the highlights of their offseason program.

“He probably has been the brightest guy of the whole camp. Jumped up the most,” Carroll said. “His speed is obvious. He no longer is a rook; not understanding. He’s studied really hard, he’s worked hard. In the offseasons he’s watched so much, he practices just like the guys that are playing all the time. He looks like he can compete with all those guys. He’s in good shape to compete.”

REST...

Toomer looked great in OTA and minicamp, but missed all of training camp with a hamstring injury. His inability to stay healthy for the third consecutive season, along with the emergence of undrafted rookie Coyle, got Toomer on the cut list. And it's obvious the Seahawks feel Irvin will be back soon after undergoing hip surgery in June.
