One of, if not the highest paid QB's in NFL
Highest paid RB in NFL
One of highest paid TE's in NFL
Well paid LT
Percy and Baldwin, Kearse isn't exactly cheap
Two highly paid DE's
Mebane isn't cheap
High paid LB (Wright), Wagner also figures to be one of highest paid LB's in NFL, even Irvin's cap number is 3 million
Highest paid corner in NFL
Very highly paid safeties, Earl has to be at about the top
Why is it that other teams can only pay a handful of players, and we are seemingly paying everybody top dollar? Doesn't something have to give at some point?
I keep hearing that we have like 15 million left. Isn't Russell going to be making 20+? Isn't Wagner going to be making like 8 per? 28>15. So, sure, you backload and all that kind of stuff, but that is all going to catch up to you eventually, right?
I want scientifically motivated answers for this one for once, rather than the customary "John Schneider has it all figured out"
You seem to not understand how the cap works. Russell isn't getting 20 mil outright in 2015. Actually his cap hit will probably be around 8 mil if he is extended this off season. The Seahawks are fine now, but 2016- 2017 will be interesting to say the least.
