Would you let great free agents walk to keep cap room in the event of a once in a century pandemic popping up? I don't get the actual strategy that comes out of your statement if it's not that.IndyHawk":2q8w0lu0 said:Yes but he insisted that it would keep going higher and higher.TraderGary":2q8w0lu0 said:In fairness, I'm guessing that statement by Fade was made before the virus hit? No one on the face of the earth could have anticipated something like that.IndyHawk":2q8w0lu0 said:I remember Fade insisting the cap never ever goes down when
we were having the thread about paying RW over $35 million.
With it going down $22 million or more.. :34853_doh: ukeface:
I don't want to ever hear that line of economics again :141847_bnono:
Now RW can help the team by restructuring or we are screwed.
Which is why you can never work the cap under assumption
you don't know if something like this won't happen again.

Ask Wagner to restructure if not cut him or trade.
Release Dunlap 14million and resign. Same for Reed.
Offer Carson 2year 10million per year
Have to let Griffin walk, we can get a good comp for him
Maybe offer kj 1 year deal, if we can trade Wagner.
Thanks for posting this. Hopefully it will talk a few away from the ledge.AgentDib":bt6yzsm9 said:What matters is how the Seahawks fare relative to other teams. Every team is going to face huge challenges if the salary cap decreases and we are actually in pretty good shape compared to most of our rivals. It's going to be an interesting off-season for sure, but if you want to feel better about it look at some other teams.
The Rams are projected to be 20m over the current cap for 2021 with a $35m cap hit for Goff, $28m cap hit for Donald, $23m cap hit for Ramsey and $8.5m in dead money for Gurley. If the cap goes down they are going to have make some very drastic cuts.
The Chiefs are projected to be 13m over the current cap as they will finally start paying Mahomes real money ($25m) in addition to Clark ($26m), Hill ($16m), Mathieu ($20m), Fisher ($15m), Jones ($22m), Hitchens ($11m), Schwartz ($10m), and Kelce ($13m).
The Bears will be slightly over, the Vikings are projected to be 8m over with a 31m cap hit for Cousins, The Saints are hilariously over (95m!) with a very likely retirement for Drew Brees, Green Bay is projected to be 21m over, and the Bucs will have a 44 year old Tom Brady.
