Man, I don't know about all the FA contracts and all and how it's structured here in the NFL. But man, I thought after we cut Wilson alot of this stuff would have improved tremendously.
The cap mismanagement continued. It was never really bad in any single year, but every year they kept pushing just a little more forward (borrowing from the future).
In 2023, they restructured every high $ contract on the books, pushing all of that money into 2024 and 2025, just to have enough for 1 high $ free agent (Jones) who, as usual, vastly underperformed his contract. They also splurged a future 2nd and 5th on a half-year rental. They did this while also having massive extra draft capital for 2 seasons and 3 players from that trade.
The Seahawks squandered the RW trade capital, the free players, and a significant portion of their future cap to give us a couple of mediocre teams.
The cumulative effect of pushing 'just a little more' into the future for the past 5 years has the 2024 cap in a very bad space, and the 2025 cap even worse. If they do the same thing in 2024 and push into 2025 like they've been doing, we'll start 2025 $20M+ in the hole with only 30 rostered players. 2024 was a bad enough start with 40 rostered and -0- cap space.
