He is scheduled to make $7m this year, and $9m in 2015, Seahawks can cut him but he'll cost $1.5m against the cap.
If you cut him this year it's a 3M cap charge. next year the charge will be 1.5M.

, as long as we pay him less than the $7.5 million + $1.5 million in signing bonus cap hit that is owed to him next year.
Not sure you guys understand how the cap works.
Lynch will make 5.5M this year; 5M base salary and a 500K roster bonus.
In 2015 he will make 5.5M Base salary, and a 2M Per-game roster bonus that is only paid if he plays all 16 games. However he will probably never see this year anyways and he knows it.
So really Marshawn will make 5.5M from the Seahawks for this coming year and that's probably it.
Hate to see his time in seattle come to an end but the writing is on the wall, unless he wants to do a team-friendly restructure in order to put some bonus money in his pocket.
