Other salary caps move on Seahawks after a Leonard Williams restructuring agreement – field seagulls

Seatle Seahawks restructures Leonard Williams’ Treaty to free up some space for caps. This is just one of the series of moves that the team has to make to be in line with the cap (the team is currently about $ 14 million above the cap) and there is room to sign a free agency.

Cancellation 1: I’m not an expert on the cap like John P Gilbert, but I did my best with the Overthecap.com data.

Rejection 2: This is not a proposal and obviously, not all moves should be made (we are not in Madden), but a combination of them.

Extend DK Metcalf

Instead of trading with one of the best players in the team (as many fans offered this off the season), Seahawks can extend the DK contract by spreading its capture on its cap further in addition to securing WR. This extension would allow Seahawks to open about $13m In the space of the cap. This would allow Seattle to keep one of the most talented WRs he ever had, which could be the main vertical threat in the clint Cubiack scheme.

Cutting/restructuring uchenna nwosu

He will have guarantees of $ 6 million on Friday after Super Bowl (February 14)S Cutting it before opening this date $ 8m in the cap. The team can still try to restructure the contract and be able to open almost $ 10 million. Nwosu is coming out of a season where he spends a lot of time injuring. It is therefore normal to rethink its continuity, especially at this price.

Cutting/Trade/restructuring Tyler Locket

The veteran has a little ended $ 5m in bonuses to receive if he is on the list of March 17S If the team cuts it or trading it before, they will be able to open $ 17mS The team can try restructuring (Again) the contract, try reducing the payment or make a new contract agreement based on incentives.

However, I believe that the latest options are unlikely to happen, as well as a team trying to trade for it. I believe there are only two real hypotheses: he remains with Seahawks on his current contract or will be cut before the FA.

Cut/Trade/Renew Geno Smith

Geno has a shock cap of $ 44.5 millionS Even John Schneider could not hold him on that amount with the team desperately for CAP. Despite rumors that Raiders will trade for him is very unlikely to happen. Therefore the best probabilities would be Cutting or expand He tried to manage Cap Hit this year. I would conclude a contract based on goals and incentives. Something similar to what they did in the last renewal of QB. Geno is open to this?

Cut Noah Fanta

I have never liked his contract. The role of they has never been used much of Ryan rough, but Fant only manages one TD in the last game of the season. AJ Barner, a fourth round rookie, managed to deal with all his production in Seattle in just one year. Cutting it will open almost $ 9 million and leave $ 4.5 million dead money.

Cut Roy Robertson-Haris

Good trade for Schneider. RRH was able to strengthen DL well with its flexibility and aggressive mentality. However, almost 7 million a year for him is a higher value than its presentation. Moreover, if you consider that it will not leave dead money. An alternative may be to cut it, wait for it to test the market and try to lead it to a more friendly deal.

Cut George Fanta

Fant was a good choice to be an immediate backup for LT and RT. The big problem is that he failed to stay healthy. He went to IR twice during the season. Reducing the veteran will save the team $ 4 million for the cost of nearly $ 2 million dead money.

Cut/Trade Dre’Mont Jones

Seattle invests a lot of money in one of the best names available in the FA during time, but unfortunately it didn’t work. It is time to accept the mistake and make the abbreviation, as it is very unlikely that John Schneider will find a trading partner. The team will save $ 11.6 million with $ 14 million dead money (before June). It can move to savings of $ 16 million with just over $ 9 million dead money if the designation is after June.
