OK, found the thread that had more details on Bass. Basically he did not play true to scheme on the Carlos Hyde 61 yard run vs SF in week 2. That is a big no-no on Seahawks D. So I'm guessing the not playing true to scheme, freelancing too often may not have been an isolated issue for Bass.
The other problem seems to be Bass is a DE type and we need more DT rotation bodies. And he is competing with Avril, Bennett, Clark, but apparently isn't versatile enough as a 3-tech to spell Richardson or Naz Jones there.
Too bad, he looked good at times. I understand he is a 5th year player and not practice squad eligible; moot, since Jets signed him.
He got a sack for the Jets in his first game with them.
