If the Seahawks really wanted to flip their roster over after the season, it would not be that hard to go from -$6 million 2025 cap space to +$91 million in the span of a heartbeat. And while some of those moves are unlikely, others are necessary.
Of the 7 largest cap hits on the team in 2025, 6 player contracts are no less than “up for discussion” when the season ends. This is the extreme end:
Those moves, along with cutting Rayshawn Jenkins, George Fant, and Roy Robertson-Harris (that’s right, he’s still on the team apparently) is what would get Seattle to $91 million (projected) cap space in 2025. The Seahawks could even restructure Leonard Williams to save an additional $9 million and at that point Seattle would effectively have the third-most cap space in the NFL behind the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders.
