The LenDale White experiment in Seattle is over.
White was released on Friday.
"It became apparent at this time that LenDale was not ready to be a member of the Seattle Seahawks," Seahawks GM John Schneider said. "It just did not appear to be the right fit at this point in our program. We wish LenDale all the best with his future."
Acquired from the Tennessee Titans in a trade, White reported to the Seahawks in great shape. He was down to 220 pounds after being 250 pounds at times as a member of the Titans.
White came to the Seahawks during the third day of the NFL draft. The team also acquired defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson.
The trade reunited White with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, whom White played for at USC.
White posted this message on his Twitter page about an hour after the Seahawks made his release official: "God is good. All the time !!"
The Seahawks gave up on White after he had only limited chances to display his work ethic. He participated in one minicamp and a handful of organized team activities on the practice field before the team waived him.
White had lost more than 45 pounds last year, saying that when he stopped drinking tequila the pounds starting falling off. He was down to 220.
