SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks waived defensive tackle Jordan Hill and veteran offensive lineman Jahri Evans on Saturday as part of their moves to reach the 53-man roster limit.Hill was waived with an injury designation after suffering a hamstring injury in the preseason finale against Oakland on Thursday, ending an injury-filled career with the Seahawks. Hill was a third-round pick in 2013, but never played in more than 13 games in a season. Before the start of training camp, Hill was expected to be a starter.Evans veteran contract was terminated after he was signed during training camp, but he was clearly going to be a backup.Seattle also made a pair of trades Saturday, acquiring defensive backs L.J. McCray from San Francisco and Dewey McDonald from Oakland. The team did not announce the conditions of the trade.Along with Hill, Seattle also waived/injured linebacker Eric Pinkins, defensive back Marcus Burley, tight end Joe Sommers and offensive lineman Terry Poole. Pinkins and Poole were late-round draft picks in recent seasons.Seattle is also going without a fullback after releasing veteran Will Tukuafu, but instead will keep four tight ends to start the season, including undrafted free agent Brandon Williams. Other players released by Seattle included wide receiver Kasen Williams, defensive tackle Brandin Bryant, defensive back Tye Smith, running back Troymaine Pope and wide receiver Kenny Lawler, a seventh-round pick this year.Seattle ended up keeping 14 rookies on its roster, including six undrafted free agents. The biggest surprise was the inclusion of cornerback DeAndre Elliott from Colorado State as Seattle went heavy with secondary players. With the inclusion of McCray and McDonald from the two trades, Seattle has 12 defensive backs on its roster.Another surprise was Seattle keeping wide receiver/tight end Tanner McEvoy. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent to be a safety for the Seahawks but was moved to the offensive side of the ball during training camp. His size at 6-foot-5 made him a viable option as both a wide receiver and tight end. With McEvoy, Seattle has five wide receivers on its roster.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Derrick Nnadi Super Bowl Jersey . U.S. District Judge Lorna G.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Defenseman Dan Boyle retired from the NHL on Wednesday at SAP Center, where he played six seasons with the San Jose Sharks during a 17-year career.Boyle won the Stanley Cup in 2004 with the Tampa Bay Lightning, one of his four NHL teams, earned an Olympic gold medal with Team Canada in 2010 and was a two-time NHL All-Star.Boyle, who played his final two seasons with the New York Rangers, retired as San Joses career leader among defensemen in points (269) and assists (201). He ranks second in goals (68) and shots (1,095).Boyle went undrafted, but he wound up playing 1,093 regular-season games and 130 playoff games during his career with the Florida Panthers, Lightning, Rangers and Sharks. Among defensemen, he ranks 31st in goals, 35th in points and 38th in assists.Coming out of college, I was undersized and overlooked and all that stuff thats kind of made me what I am today, said the 5-foot-9, 180-pound Boyle, who was sitting next to Sharks general manager Doug Wilson, with his family and many of his former San Jose teammates looking on.I definitely had a chip on my shoulder. I probably always will. Its just what makes me me, and thats probably what has allowed me to have the career that I had.Boyle signed with the Panthers as a free agent on March 30, 1998, then was traded to the Lightning in January 2002 for a fifth-round pick.Boyle said his career took off after a one-on-one meeting he had with current Columbus Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, who coached him with Tampa Bay.We sat down and I asked him, I ssaid, Can you please trust me? Boyle said.dddddddddddd I know I play the game a little differently than most, I know it might be a little risky at times, but I know what Im doing. Just please trust me. Thats kind of when my true career took off. He trusted in me. I responded with what I thought was good hockey and responsible hockey.Tortorella talked to Boyle on a speaker phone during his retirement ceremony.I dont think you ever received enough credit for what a fierce competitor you were, Tortorella said. I witnessed it firsthand. You were the engine of our Stanley Cup team. We dont get where we go if it isnt [for] what you do at that rover position that you had, as far as just doing your thing.Boyle, who will retire in the San Jose area, spent parts of six seasons with the Lightning, playing 394 games and amassing 66 goals, 187 assists and 253 points.Then on July 4, 2008, Tampa Bay traded Boyle, along with Brad Lukowich, to the Sharks for Matt Carle, Ty Wishart, a first-round draft pick in 2009 and a fourth-round choice in 2010.He was like a one-man breakout, Sharks center Logan Couture said of Boyle. He could skate the puck out of trouble better than most guys that play this game. As a teammate, he was as competitive as they come.After the 2013-14 season, San Jose traded Boyles rights to the Rangers for a fifth round choice in the 2015 draft. The Rangers signed him to a new contract on July 1, 2014. ' ' '
