Man, I spent a good chunk of my day diving deep into the Seattle Seahawks’ cap space situation. It’s like trying to solve a giant puzzle, you know?
First off, I opened up OverTheCap. That site is a goldmine for this kind of stuff. It showed that the Seahawks are sitting with around $4.3 million in cap space for the 2024 season. Not a whole lot when you look at what other teams are working with.
Then I started digging into how they could free up some cash. I read that by cutting players like Jones, Nwosu, Jenkins, and Robertson-Harris, they could potentially create about $32 million. That’s a huge chunk of change!
- Converted DK Metcalf’s salary into a signing bonus: This move freed up around $9.5 million. Clever, right?
- Extended Nwosu: This gave them a bit over $5.3 million in extra space. Every little bit helps!
I also checked out some info on their stadium, Lumen Field. Did you know it seats 69,000? And the average ticket price for a 2024 game on StubHub is a whopping $313! These are just some facts I think they should be concerned.
After hours of reading and crunching numbers, I finally put together a clearer picture of the Seahawks’ financial situation. It’s tight, but there are moves they can make. I even drafted a few scenarios for them, just for fun. It’s gonna be interesting to see what they actually do in the off-season. They’ve got some tough decisions ahead if they want to build a stronger team. I was so tired after doing all of these that I ended up sleeping for 11 hours.
Wrap-up:
It’s not all about the money, but in the NFL, it plays a huge role. Go Hawks!
