Salary Cap

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks are in a genuinely healthy cap position entering this window. Current room of $27.6M (rank 11 of 32) is bolstered by $15.0M in rollover (rank 9 of 32), and dead money of $1.8M (rank 30 of 32) is among the cleanest books in the league. Committed spending drops meaningfully from $309.5M this season to $274.6M next season, then falls sharply to $153.3M two seasons out and $102.5M three seasons out, meaning the team gets dramatically more flexible as contracts expire. With 34 expiring contracts on the roster, Seattle will face a series of re-signing decisions, particularly around its young core, but also has significant room to let high-priced veterans walk without pain. The next-year cap room projection of $54.2M (rank 17 of 32) represents a strong foundation for an aggressive offseason push. Cutting clean-release candidates like Vannett, O'Connell, Kight, and White adds incremental room now with no dead money penalty. The one note of caution is the Nwosu decision, where releasing him frees $11.0M but leaves $9.0M in dead money, so timing matters. Overall, Seattle is cap-healthy today and positioned to become one of the league's most flexible teams within two to three seasons.
