That was total spending in April. Also, the OP is about the defensive cap hit of the initial 53-man roster. Chancellor’s money wouldn’t be included, neither would the dead money for players like Richard Sherman, Cliff Avril, and Michael Bennett. Neither would the players who are IR’d, like Byron Maxwell.
This is about the money spent on players who are actually going to be playing. The Seahawks’ active defensive unit has one of the smallest cap hits in the NFL.
We are about to find out what Carroll and Co. can accomplish with fewer defensive resources than just about any other team they will face.
