Kicking off their salary cap purge, the Seahawks jettisoned four high-priced veterans, including their big ticket free agent signing from only two years ago in Dre’Mont Jones.

Still sitting $6 million over the salary cap, the Seahawks will have to execute some difficult moves coming out of the NFL combine to not only be cap compliant, but have the flexibility to re-sign and add players in free agency.

Mike Macdonald didn’t fly to Indianapolis for the NFL combine last season as he assembled his first coaching staff, but he will be on site this time around as the Seahawks launch a critical offseason.

After narrowly missing out on the playoffs, the Seahawks face some difficult offseason choices as they try to bolster their roster for 2025. What hypothetical moves could be made to guide the team back into contention?

John Schneider still has plenty of work left to do shoring up the Seahawks’ financials before free agency begins, but a skyrocketing salary cap will make the process easier.

Still more than $10 million over the cap, the Seahawks will have to pull several more levers to ready themselves for the start of free agency next month.

After restructuring Leonard Williams, Seahawks general manager John Schneider could opt to go that route with another player or two to help create more financial flexibility before free agency.
