UPDATE: AS OF MAY the 9TH
The Seahawks as of today now have 41 players under contract for 2020 (which doesn't account for cheap ERFAs) with $82M + $20M in rollover = 102M in Cap Space for 2020. That is with Russell Wilson being the highest paid player in NFL history.
Ziggy has yet to show up on OTC, but he will count $13M against the cap knocking it down from $33M to $20M in rollover.
He probably won't earn all of his incentives, but they have to account for it. So they could save some additional space.
Mingo could still be cut, or take a massive pay cut (which I would advise they do).
Ed Dickson could get cut for age/salary reasons as well.
KJ has to be dynamite this year or he will be cut next year. BBK and/or Cody Barton will take his job otherwise.
I feel like Justin Britt may be in the same boat as KJ.
I like Jaron Brown, and I don't think he will be cut, but it is a possibility.
The point is they can free up even more space if necessary.
Again like I said in the original OP, the cap numbers this year and next are going to get eaten into, With Wagner & Reed, a couple more vet signings, and typical IR, practice squad, Top 51 converting to 53, etc. But they will have so much leftover space for this year and next, it is bordering on crazy.
The Seahawks are drowning in cap space at this point. They blew up the roster, and it appears they have rebuilt it on the fly while still remaining contenders.
They have 11 Draft Picks for 2020. I would like to see John Schneider trade down a few times and draft 16 players next year just for the lolz.
Pretty impressive stuff. What he and Carroll have pulled off this off-season.
