Seahawks have the power to become powerful in free agency

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.
