Baldwin and Kearse move down to be the #2 and #3 WRs where they should be. Then you cut Miller and let Willson and Helfet continue to progress. The offense would be light years better than last year assuming Lynch returns.
Just let Kearse walk if you have Marshall.
If this was to happen and we also some how got Suh it would be pretty much a dream come true. I also think you could figure out a way to keep Miller since he is now more of a blocking TE than a move TE and may very well want to go after one more SB ring himself. After all, he didn't may feel he owes the team a year given his injury was very early on in the season. Who knows, but fun to think about!
It could be done both Suh and Marshall.
Lets say the Bears do trade us Marshall... They actually save 3.95m. I dont know where the other guy got 13m from. Marshall saved the Bears as Som6rset said 4m.
Lets also say the Seahawks trade thier 2015 4th and 6th rounder (from Jets).
Lets say the Seahawks also get Marshall to restructure with GUARANTEED MONEY.
Sidebar of Reality- Seahawks lacking WR depth will likely opt to give Kearse a 2nd round tender. Ive seen that number been estimated at 2.5 min to 3.1 max.
So lets say Seahawks give Marshall a 4 yr, 30m w/ 8m signing bonus. Up to 18 m guaranteef.
2m hits on a 4 yr spread. Right
Year 1: 2 base gtd + 8m sb = 10 m in pocket.
Cap hit = 4m
Note: 4m is about 1m more than the max estimate of the 2nd round tender slotted to keep Kearse.
Marshall @4 > Kearse @ 2.5-3
Yr 2: Doug Baldwin enters the last year of his deal @ 5.6m against the cap. Keep in mind that after the season that money will return to the WR pool.
For Marshall:
1.5 roster/workout bonus + 2.5 gtd base + sb = 6.0 cap hit
2 yr earnings = 14 m
Yr 3: Remember Baldwin comes off the books so Marshall can get a significant boost. 2017 is also the Year where the cap is expected to be 160 m and Seahawks have 100m in free cap which will change ofcourse when Wilson and Wagner plus others sign their extensions.
But what was Baldwin's can now be Marshall's and allocate some of the 5.6 m cap hit to Marshall's purse.
1m roster bonus
+ 1 m workout bonus
+ 4m base salary
+ 1 m performance pay
+ signing bonus
= 9m cap hit
BM can be cut saving 5 m or 7 m( by designating him as a June 1st cut).
Yr 4: Keep in mind this will be Marshall's age 34 season.
1m roster bonus
+1m workout bonus
+ 5 yr base
+2m performance pay
= 11 m
Seahawks can cut Marshall saving 9 m.
Total Earnings In Years:
1- 10 m
2- 14 m
3- 21 m
4- 30 m[/quote]
Dude you are a BOSS !
I love hawks fans that get into detail with actual data,instead of just opinions ! You layed cap salary down for all of us concerning Marshall.
