Thorpe, 29, originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Auburn back in 2012. He spent two years in Kansas City before he signed a future/reserve contract with the Raiders at the end of 2014.
Thorpe returned to Oakland on a one-year exclusive rights deal in 2015, but he was cut loose during the preseason. The Colts later claimed him off waivers only to cut him a few days later.
Thorpe would later sign with the Seahawks a few weeks into the regular season in 2016. He re-signed with Seattle in 2017 and again this past offseason.
In 2019, Thorpe appeared in seven games for the Seahawks and recorded 6 tackles with no interceptions or pass defenses.
