We’re a few weeks away from the beginning of the 2024-25 NFL league 12 months, and we’re already seeing groups half methods with notable gamers for cost-cutting causes. The Miami Dolphins launched former All-Professional nook Xavien Howard, the Chicago Bears moved on from security Eddie Jackson and middle Cody Whitehair, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have launched former beginning middle Mason Cole (amongst others).
What concerning the Seattle Seahawks? Jamal Adams is the apparent cap casualty candidate so we’re going to rule him out of this dialogue. The one query is whether or not he’ll be pre-June 1 ($7,327,332) or post-June 1 ($17,122,000).
Listed below are the following highest potential cap casualties based mostly on cap area saved:
Quandre Diggs ($11 million)
Tyler Lockett ($7,105,000 pre-June 1, $17 million post-June 1)
Will Dissly ($6,970,000)
Julian Love ($5,680,000)
Bryan Mone ($5,390,000)
Jarran Reed ($4,440,000)
I don’t suppose Love goes to get launched however he’s solely there to notice that he is among the few Seahawks whose launch would internet not less than $4 million in cap financial savings.
Diggs is on an expiring contract and I don’t know what his commerce worth is at this level. It’s nonetheless attainable the Seahawks maintain him and Mike Macdonald will be capable to get him again to one thing near his very best type.
Lockett is an enormous query mark as a result of they may simply restructure his contract, however now that he’s on the opposite aspect of 30 it’s attainable that Seattle will simply look to maneuver on and move the torch to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Dissly basically being TE3 by the top of the season doesn’t encourage confidence that he’ll wrap up the ultimate 12 months of his deal.
Mone is nearly actually gone, which is a disgrace as a result of that harm value him the entire of the 2023 season.
Reed had a significantly better return to Seattle than anticipated however I don’t consider it’s an simple lock that he’ll be staying in 2024. I’d say it’s a powerful likelihood he stays a Seahawk in September however not 100%.
One other title not on right here however value mentioning is Nick Bellore. He’s a fullback and linebacker however performs neither of these positions within the common season. Little doubt he’s a preferred participant within the locker room and a key particular groups participant, however the Seahawks save virtually $3 million in the event that they let him go.
What do you suppose the Seahawks do over the following few months with these gamers? Tell us within the feedback!
