It is easy to manipulate and create space.

As of now Seattle has 37 players / $42.52M in space.
This is just an example. Feel free to play along at home.
First thing's first, go ahead and add the EFRAs and RFAs that make sense.
+ Cody Thompson; ERFA
+ Godwin Igwebuike; ERFA
+ Tanner Muse; RFA (Original Round Tender)
+ Miles Adams; ERFA
+ Isaiah Mack; ERFA
+ Michael Jackson; ERFA
+ Ryan Neal; RFA (Original Round Tender)
44~Players / $32.7M in space
Second, time to trim players not worth the money off of the roster to create plenty of space to re-sign Unrestricted Free Agents.
Cut: Pre 6/1
- Shelby Harris -$8.9M freed up.
- Gabe Jackson -$6.5M freed up.
- Quinton Jefferson -$4.5M freed up.
- Bryan Mone -$2.7M freed up.
Cut: Post 6/1
- Jamal Adams -$11M freed up.
- Quandre Diggs - $14M freed up.
38~Players / $80.3M in space
Third, Re-Sign Geno Smith: 5 yrs $150M / $30M signing bonus
2023: Cap hit - $7.165M ($1.165M base + $6M of prorated bonus)
Geno gets $31.65M in 2023 but he only counts $7.165M against the cap.
39~Players / $73.1M in space
4th, Re-Sign some scrubs to league minimum or thereabouts to help fill out the roster a little:
+ Teez Tabor
+ Travis Homer
+ Phil Haynes
+ Artie Burns
+ Cody Barton
+ Tyler Ott
+ Nick Bellore
46~Players / $66.1M in space
5th, Re-Sign guys that will cost more than the league min:
+ Jason Meyers $5M signing bonus + $1M base
+ Rashaad Penny ($4M incentive laden deal)
+ Marquise Goodwin ($3M incentive laden deal)
49~Players / $59.3M in space
Finally, 2 more scrubs to hit top 51.
+ John Rattigan, ERFA
+ Laquan Treadwell
51~Players / $58.9M in space
The Seahawks have plenty of cap space to do whatever they need. My concern is keeping the overpriced Safeties in Diggs and Adams, that could put a damper on things. The right move is to Post June-1 both of them.
