Overthecap.com has the the Seahawks right now at $95,159,669 in space with a projected $200M cap in 2020.
But it doesn't factor in rollover which would put them at $105,378,774 in projected space.
Here is where it gets crazy. Looking at the guys that have a cap hit of $4M or more that could be cut, or there will be a strong consideration for them to be cut at the very least.
2020 Roster Potential Cap Casualties
Kam Chancellor -$14.5M- if cut $12M savings.
Doug Baldwin -$14.1M- if cut $11M savings.
Justin Britt -$11.67M- if cut $8.75M savings.
K.J. Wright -$8.5M- if cut $6.5M savings.
Ed Dickson -$4.3M- if cut $3.4M savings.
2019
Mingo getting cut this year adds another $4.1M in savings.
Adding the cost of two more rookie classes, and vet mins to fill out the 2020 roster,
practice squad, IR, etc., Approximately $25M will be needed on the safe, and conservative side.
Total approximate cap space = $125M in 2020.
Now of course they are not cutting everyone of these players. And some guys I would think are going to be extended. So this number is going to shrink over the next 12 months.
I'm just putting it out there for people to see. The Seahawks have a lot of money to play with. If they can't build a championship contender, It's on them. They have plenty of resources, and a Franchise QB to build around.
