It benefits the team that the papers are not in right now.

Lol - so did signing everyone else in the past 5 years.

STRENGTHS Positives: Good height with strong upper- and lower-body builds. Strong anchor; typically does not get pushed into quarterback. Gets his hands inside his man's jersey quickly and resets his hands to sustain. Picks up twists from the inside. Fires out of his stance on zone run and short-yardage plays. Will hustle to help quarterback when the play breaks down. Adequate moving in space; can reach linebackers and even safeties at the third level. Strong enough to block down on the tackle but use his right arm to prevent linebackers from blitzing between guard-tackle gap.

The non-core players you listed were signed for peanuts. Kearse had a three-year 13.5 million dollar contract. You are comparing apples to oranges.Basis4day":2k50nigb said:oasis":2k50nigb said:All I'm saying is Kearse feels more like a luxury pick compared to core re-signings -- and luxury picks affect the small amount of cap space we have.

For starters, you're assuming we're interested in him. If we don't sign him, it can be as simple as we didn't want him.
To me, this is a straw man argument.
Will every available player we don't sign be because we signed Kearse to a very reasonable deal?
Assume for a moment that Slausen can be had for 1 year on his expected cap number with the bears in 2015 (approx 3.4 Million).
The Seahawks currently have 3.4 million in dead money. Instead of placing the blame on Kearse, you could blame the signings of Cary Williams, Terry Poole, Kevin Norwood, Christine Michael, Clint Gresham, Obum Gwatchum, Eric Pinkins, Ryan Murphy, Triston Wade, Keenan Lambert, Quayshawn Nealy, Jesse Davis, Ronald Martin, Rod Smith, Alex Singleton and Nate Boyer. These signings don't affect our ability to sign Slausen?
It won't be because of 3.4 million between recently re-signed players like Jeremy Lane? Rubin? Wilson? Avril? Wagner?
It's ONLY because of Kearse?
All signings affect the cap.
