🚨Seahawks release 4 players!

The Seahawks are now under the 2025 salary cap with room to spare

The Seahawks have started the process of cutting down their numbers against the 2025 salary cap by releasing four players on Tuesday:

OLB Dre’Mont Jones

S Rayshawn Jenkins

OT George Fant

DT Roy Robertson-Harris

Assuming OvertheCap’s numbers are accurate, these moves save almost $27 million in cap space, putting the Seahawks at $20 million under the 2025 salary cap headed into the new league year, which starts next Wednesday.

If you’re wondering where this leaves Tyler Lockett, Uchenna Nwosu, and Geno Smith, all of those players have roster bonuses due this month. The Seahawks are probably waiting until the last possible moment to make a decision on all three, whether that means a release (Lockett is almost certainly going to be cut), a renegotiation (which has been the topic for Nwosu), or an extension (which John Schneider said he wanted to do with Geno Smith).

But these were the four most obvious moves to make to save cap space. Lockett should also be obvious, but given his important standing in team history, it wouldn’t have been right to lump him in the same news dump as Robertson-Harris and Fant. In my offseason plan, I started by having the Seahawks release all five of these players, including Lockett. Will Seattle continue that line of thinking?

In the past, I’ve made a big deal about the streak. Now it just feels like I’ve done that and the streak is just a normalized part of OUR daily lives.
