Professional career
San Francisco 49ers
Balmer was selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft, 29th overall.[1] He was originally drafted as a DT but was moved to DE due to the Niners 3-4 defensive scheme.
On December 9, 2009, Balmer was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. The 49ers later signed Baraka Atkins to take over his position.
Seattle Seahawks
Balmer was traded to the Seattle Seahawks on August 16, 2010 in exchange for a sixth round pick in a future NFL Draft. He was waived on August 24, 2011.
Carolina Panthers
On August 25, Balmer was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers. However, he was waived on September 1.
Washington Redskins
Balmer signed with the Washington Redskins on November 8, 2011. On August 2, 2012, it was reported that he did not show up to training camp two days in a row and his agent has not replied to any inquiries as to Balmer's whereabouts.[2] It was assumed that, Balmer left the team after Redskins officials checked his hotel room and saw that all of Balmer's personal effects were gone.[3] Head coach Mike Shanahan announced that the team had finally made contact with Balmer on August 11, but did not explain the reason for his disappearance or his future with the Redskins.[4]
Nearly two years after he walked away from the team, the Redskins officially terminated his contract on May 30, 2014.[5]
