It was announced that Cortez Kennedy has passed away. Very sad day for his family and for Seahawks fans. One of the greatest all time - R.I.P.

Is it being reported how he died or why he died? He's only 48 so something must have happened. Sad day for Hawk's fans.

"NFL Hall of Famer Cortez Kennedy is dead at the age of 48 ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Kennedy played 11 seasons for the Seattle Seahawks ... and was an 8x Pro Bowler. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

We spoke to Orlando PD who confirmed Kennedy's passing ... but they added "there is nothing suspicious" about his death.

We've spoken to family members who say they're currently traveling to Orlando.

Cause of death is still unclear."

“We can confirm his passing and at this time there is nothing suspicious to report but we are conducting an investigation regarding his unattended passing,” Orlando PD Sgt. Wanda Miglio told the Courier News.

Just saw, that's too bad. I am glad he at least got to see the hall of fame before he died. Great player, great Seahawk. Sad we could never put a team around him to go the distance. One of the best DTs of all time.

I turned 50 last month...... fuck, I feel old now.

My family has been watching Hawks games since they started the franchise. My younger brother named his enormous Golden Retriever 'Tez.' Have fond memories of a guy who was a bright spot in some otherwise dismal seasons. If he'd played in NY or LA or for a better team, he'd have been a household name.

Thanks for the memories Tez.

I forgot that he changed his number to 99 that season.

Yeah, it's almost always one of the first things I think about him is his tribute to Jerome Brown in '92. Watched every game that year (first season I can remember doing that), absolutely loved Tez.

This one stings, it really does.... RIP Tez, thanks for the memories...

Tez was a god on the field back in the day. Won fucking NFL DPotY on one of the worst Seahawk teams ever.

First Cornell, now Tez. The last few days have been a kick in the nuts.

IMO, Felix Hernandez is the modern day "Tez" in Seattle sports. Both spent their entire career (Felix has time to leave, but the best is behind him) playing for a Seattle team where we chose to watch the games, knowing we would probably lose, because of how special these guys were. "Tez" was flat out dominant, and kept me interested in some of the darkest days as a Seahawks fan. Thanks for the memories big guy!

This brings back memories. RIP big fella.

RIP Tez

So glad he was inducted into the HoF before his un-timely passing. truly one of the greatest players and team mates ever and i don't just me on the Hawks i mean in the NFL period! I feel blessed i got to watch him play and meet him in person. Such a gentile giant off the field but a monster on it.

 

[Destroydacre]

Sad day indeed. One of my favorite Seahawks ever and I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard. You'll be missed Tez.
