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. Face it, fellas. If we don't sign Slauson, we can all comfortably blame our beloved homegrown WR
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.
