The org wanted to let the fans know that they didn't completely ignore Adams. Even if the Seahawks were seriously considering him, the fact that Adams supposedly missed snaps due to an injury of some sort probably killed any chance he had.
He still has a tryout with the Redskins. Even if he goes to the CFL he'll stay in the PNW, as the Vancouver CFL team owns his rights.
All that said, it's going to suck if Jake Heaps is annoying us with bad play this preseason, knowing we could be watching Adams instead.
This. I don't understand how a team that drafted Russell Wilson can overlook Vernon Adams. He's better than anyone else they have under RW.
May not be over and done with Adams; it could very well be that VA wanted to have a shot at becoming the Starter, and if he's only going to assume the steady Tarvaris Jackson backup role, he likely declined.
Should he not catch on anywhere in the NFL, I believe it's highly likely that he does go to the CFL, or sign with a team that doesn't have the QB position locked down.
It's actually a good thing that Russell Wilson is such a tough hombre, but scary as hell that we don't have a viable backup in the wings.
