Seahawks salary cap: Potential roster cuts (Shelby Harris?), other ways to add space

New York Times  

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, general manager John Schneider and salary-cap manager Matt Thomas have the necessary resources to upgrade the roster this offseason. But keep in mind that if signed to a multiyear deal, the quarterback’s first-year cap hit could be set at a team-friendly number, one that would increase significantly in the remaining years of the contract. After Haynes suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 17, Jackson was able to play every snap in the final two games of the season, but it’s fair to wonder whether Seattle would consider moving on from the veteran guard to save $6.5 million. Acquired along with quarterback Drew Lock and tight end Noah Fant in the deal that sent Russell Wilson to Denver, Harris was one of Seattle’s better run defenders in 2022. Releasing Jackson, Harris and Jefferson would bring Seattle’s savings to $19.8 million, more than enough cash to improve the roster in free agency.
