Ex-Bears RB Peterson cut five days after signing with Seahawks

RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks released former Chicago Bears running back Adrian Peterson on Tuesday, just five days after signing him.

Peterson, a nine-year veteran who ran just seven times for 51 yards last season with the Bears, signed with the Seahawks on Thursday. His release clears roster room for newly acquired defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer.

Peterson's boomerang stay continues a pattern of roster turnover that new coach Pete Carroll has employed since arriving in January.

Seattle also released linebacker Alvin Bowen and signed kicker Clint Stitser to the 80-man training camp roster.

Stitser was out of football in 2008 and '09. The former Fresno State kicker was most recently with the New York Jets. He is in camp to help reduce the workload of Olindo Mare, the Seahawks' franchise-designated player for 2010, who has been kicking with a sore calf this month.
