Just 24 Hours After Seahawks Waiver, DT Quinton Bohanna Vows 'Never Again' to Seattle – The Heartbreaking Backstory Has 12s in Tears

Seattle, Washington – 12/05/2025

NFL drama rarely erupts this fast, but the Quinton Bohanna saga hit the Pacific Northwest like a lightning strike. Just 24 hours after being waived by the Seattle Seahawks and officially becoming a free agent, Quinton Bohanna, once considered a promising rotational piece on the defensive line, stunned the entire league by declaring that he “will never return to Seattle.” And the story behind that declaration has left Seahawks Nation in a heavy, reflective silence.

Bohanna began the 2025 season on the practice squad before being elevated to the active roster in November, leading many to believe he had found a foothold in Mike Macdonald’s defensive system. But Seattle’s decision to waive him again this week — clearing space for returning key pieces like Jarran Reed and Rylie Mills — sent the situation in a direction few expected.

In his first interview after leaving the team, Bohanna couldn’t hide his disappointment or the emotional weight of the past few weeks. And right there, he delivered the line that sent shockwaves across the NFL:

“There are places where once you walk away, you know you’re never meant to go back; I fought to find my place, but sometimes silence gives you the clearest answer; I don’t regret my choice — and now I know I belong somewhere else.”

Seahawks fans immediately split — some saddened, others angry, but most recognizing that Bohanna’s words carried deeper meaning. Multiple reports suggested Bohanna felt he never received a real opportunity, even though he performed solidly each time he was called up. Several teammates privately shared that he was one of the hardest workers on the roster, someone who pushed himself in practice and stayed ready, yet was repeatedly sent back to the practice squad without any meaningful explanation.

The Seahawks did not respond publicly, but individuals within the organization privately acknowledged a harsh truth: the defensive restructuring — combined with the return of Reed and Mills — made Bohanna the “unfortunate casualty” of a numbers game rather than a lack of effort.

What made Seahawks Nation bow its head wasn’t anger directed at Bohanna, but the painful honesty beneath his words — a reminder of the emotional toll on players living on the edge of the roster, fighting every day without certainty, often carrying burdens fans never see.

Quinton Bohanna wasn’t a star.
He didn’t produce highlights.
But his statement has sparked a deeper question: Does the NFL truly treat its silent warriors fairly?

In just 24 hours, Bohanna left Seattle — and left behind a moment that made the entire Seahawks Nation stop and think.

US Destroys Iran's Attack Capabilities as Iranian Military Showcases Weapon Strength
The ongoing military standoff between the United States and Iran has escalated further, as the US claims to have destroyed several key Iranian military targets, while Iran continues to showcase its advanced weapons to assert its military power. In one of the latest developments, a submarine of the Iranian Navy was destroyed by US forces using the short-range ATACM ballistic missile as part of Operation Epic Fury. This move is part of the US strategy to weaken Iran’s military capabilities in the Middle East. Additionally, the US is deploying a landing strike group, including reconnaissance Marines, to bolster its presence in the region. This move comes amidst rising concerns about Iran’s growing military activities. However, Iran is not standing idle. The Iranian military has released videos showing underground tunnels filled with suicide drones, along with secret "firepower city" military facilities. These drones were launched from various locations, both during the day and at night, as part of Tehran’s retaliation against the US and Israel. In addition to the suicide drones, Iran has claimed to possess a massive stockpile of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which could be used to disrupt traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and launch attacks on multiple critical targets across the Gulf region. These weapons are reportedly stored in underground facilities, making it difficult for the US to detect and eliminate Iran’s military capabilities completely. Furthermore, Iran is said to possess explosive-laden unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) designed for suicide attacks on ships. Due to their small size and fast mobility, these USVs are challenging to detect and defend against, especially during nighttime operations. Despite the US claiming to have destroyed Iran’s offensive capabilities, military experts believe Tehran still retains the ability to effectively control the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route. The US has used long-range missiles such as the ATAC MS and PSM in attacks on Iranian military targets, including warships and supply depots. General Dan Ken, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, emphasized the importance of artillery forces in the ongoing operation. He stated that US artillery units, including those from the Army and Marine Corps, have accurately struck several key Iranian targets, including at least one submarine of the Russian-made Kilo class. In the first 13 days of the operation, US artillery achieved a historic milestone by using the PSM missile for the first time in actual combat, deep inside Iranian territory. These actions not only pressure Iran but also have significant ramifications for the Strait of Hormuz, where oil transportation activities could be severely disrupted, leading to oil prices reaching their highest levels since July 2022. The US continues to reinforce its military presence in the Middle East, with additional warships and landing forces expected to carry out further attacks on Iran. However, given Iran’s powerful military capabilities and its control over the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran remains a formidable challenge to US military strategies in the region.
