This was an expected move.

I will list him as a signed player for now. We will need to wait to see if other offers are made for him.

I'm surprised they didn't chuck Dion Jordan on at the same time, maybe they're planning on extending him instead.

 

[jammerhawk]

I suppose so, but we may see Jordan tendered as expected today. The Coleman news came late in the day and it perhaps was their response to all the losses/cuts at CB.

Jordan won’t exactly be hot in demand at this point so they could just extend him.

Players with fewer than four accrued seasons who received no qualifying offer or minimum tender from their prior clubs:

Seattle

Davis, Mike RB South Carolina

Dawson, Paul LB Texas Christian

Forrest, Josh LB Kentucky

French, Christian LB Oregon

McDonald, Dewey LB California, Pa.

Rawls, Thomas RB Central Michigan

Simone, Jordan DB Arizona State

Smith, Garrison DT Georgia

Thompson, Tyrus G Oklahoma

 

[Hawkstorian]

Dion Jordan most likely just has a minimum tender for RFA. Since he was a first round draft pick that's what the league release says, but his compensation is $1.907M not $4.149M

Clarification from Condotta

@bcondotta
To clarify on Jordan, league listed his tender as first round. But that's the compensation Seattle would receive were he to sign elsewhere. As Corry notes, it's an original round tender and Jordan gets $1.907 million. https://twitter.com/corryjoel/status/974022649297887232 …

No real surprises among the ERFAs that weren't tendered except maybe Garrison Smith - I think he's the only one not tendered who had any significant playing time (9 tackles in 8 games).

 

[jammerhawk]

I found that interesting about the non-tender to Garrison Smith as well but perhaps they plan on acquiring another similar player and he is surplus to need. Another player that bears watching is the nontendered RFA OLB- Dewey McDonald who the team is still high on but wants to re-sign cheaper than the tender ammount. McDonald was traded for two seasons ago and was active as a ST player mostly and effecticve for us when he played.

To me Mingo is an interesting add, thre is geniuine physical ability and less developed football ability. he was a first round pick that hasn't panned out but he has bulked up some and hopefuilly hasn't lost his speed. Hopefully he can be coached up and demonstrate some of the potential that got him drafted in the first round.

The NFL website has updated the draft order to reflect the picks exchanged between SEA and PHI in the Michael Bennett trade.

As it turns out, we're simply re-exchanging the same two picks that were swapped in the Matt Tobin trade. We're getting our 5th rounder back (#19 overall in the round) rather than PHI's own 5th rounder (#32), and we're sending PHI their original 7th rounder back (#32 in the round) rather than one of the two higher picks that we also own in the 7th round (the Jets pick at #8 and Minnesota's pick at #30). So the Hawks maximized the move-up there, going from the end of the 7th round to the middle of the 5th.

Seahawks spent a total of $13,629,333 on 9 players yesterday (at least as far as the cap is concerned, actual cash is more).

 

[jammerhawk]

Hey OP what do you think the real number left is now?

OTC.com says it's $19,938,267 but your calculations would seem different from that.

 

[original poster]

$17,823,267 is the real number Jammer :2thumbs:

OTC number is wrong. (they haven't accounted for the ERFA's yet).

[original poster]

That number also accounts for there currently being 53 on the roster and the cap only accounting for the top 51, too.

 

[jammerhawk]

Thanks OP, your numbers are interesting indeed. I will stick with OTC for the thread as they historically have done the best reporting the cap and it’s hard to fault them at this time of year for being completely current with all 32 teams.

For sure the rule of 51 would apply to their calculations. The numbers are always subject to some debate as contracts can be varied quickly, and right now the changes are frequent.

Yeah can't knock OTC, fantastic website.

I struggle keeping on top of one teams cap position, let along doing it for 32. Hats off to Jason and the guys over there!

As soon as they add the ERFA guys to the list their number will be pin point accurate in line with mine.
