The Seahawks waived Dodson on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
In a surprising move, the Seahawks parted ways with Dodson, who led the team with 71 tackles to go with two sacks while playing every snap on defense in seven of his nine appearances on the season. Expect Dodson to be a hot name as he heads to the waiver wire, with the veteran linebacker likely to find a new home quickly.
