Good article about Seahawks 2014 Salary Cap projections

Joel Corry wrote an article this week mentioning that the 2014 NFL Salary Cap will likely be $128M, above the previous guidance number of $126.3M. With some small rollover, the Seahawks should have about $130M to work with in adjusted salary cap for 2014.

I have mentioned in previous blogs that you need to set aside about $10M for the Injured Reserve, Practice Squad, three Specialists (K, P, LS), and "already taken" dead money. The Seahawks have less than $1M in "already taken dead money" for 2014, but in the projection below - I have six additional future cuts and have added that dead money from those future cuts into the "Total Defense" and "Total Offense" categories.

I don't like to see Zach Miller possibly being cut. They need a good blocking TE in this draft if they go that route (i.e. Troy Niklas in the 2nd round or Xavier Grimble in the 5th).

Bennett agreeing to just $4.3 million in the first year seems unrealistic. I think he's going to want the immediate pay off. Sherman agreeing to any non-crazy contract this year would be unexpected.
