The Cincinnati Bengals traded Dunlap to Seattle in October in exchange for offensive lineman B.J. Finney and a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
He was slated to earn $10.1 million in base salary next season and carried a $14 million cap hit.
In eight games with the Seahawks, Dunlap recorded 14 tackles, five sacks and 14 quarterback hits. He spent 11 seasons with the Bengals before being moved to Seattle, recording 82.5 sacks and making it to two Pro Bowls with Cincy.
