Accounted for 3.1% of the salary cap last year combined, that is pretty crazy number. I knew they got payed next to nothing from what their actual worth is, but it still caught me by surprise a little. Here is what the cap for the team looked like last year:
Here is what is hypothetically could look like in 2 years when everyone gets paid:
Everyone is assuming we are signing somebody with the cap room we have cleared up, however, I think unless the Seahawks get some bargain bin deal on Melton or Allen then they are just beginning to prepare for the shitload of money they will have to shell out for 4 players (RW, Sherm, ET, and Okung). I almost think that 1 of those 4 will walk (Okung or Sherm). It also will fuck us over with our linebacking corps (extremely underrated) as if Wright, Smith, and Wagner keep playing the way they have been then no way will we be able to resign all those guys, hell 2 might even have to walk.
It will be interesting, PC and JS have their work cut out for them. As long as the Seahawks continue to draft extremely well then players will come and go, however, I think it is hard to expect them to keep up their consistent level of drafting key starters over the next couple of drafts.

You might have to trade one of those guys after this year. Could we get 2 #1's for Sherman? I think it's possible. You could also get a 1, 2, and 3 from someone. Probably not the 2 and 3 in the same year but stretched out. Small chance we could get a 1 for Okung, but most likely would have to settle for a 2. Okung isn't great, but he is one of the better LT's in the league. You don't want to lose those guys. Maybe they will pick a tackle this year in the draft that will play RT this year, but will be the LT of the future so we can afford to let Okung walk. I think that would probably be ideal, but it will be tough.
We could also franchise Sherman after this year and get another year out of him before trading him. Earl Thomas was said to be the priority, so I am assuming he will get locked up in the next few months.
1) Wilson is your most important offensive player - but my guess is that since he values winning so much, he'll take a little bit less to ensure that he's got good players surrounding him.
2) What makes the defense so good is the secondary and the ability to rush the passer. You have to continue to lock up Thomas, Sherman, and Chancellor as long as they are playing at elite levels. Everything you do starts with them.
3) Okung's value will be 100% dependent upon his ability to stay healthy. If he isn't able to stay healthy, he's definitely not worth the money long-term at that price.
4) The LBs are very, very good, but I don't know if any of them are going to be super elite break the bank kind of guys. To me, this is a position where you always will be able to replenish in the draft by finding guys that fit what you are looking for. The DL's job is to keep the LBs free. Our LBs are built on being fast and fitting into coverage.
5) My guess is that Harvin isn't with the team past 2016. I would think that we're going to draft at least 1 WR relatively high either this year or next to make sure that there's a #1 replacement in place at some point. Given the propensity of spread offenses making high quality WRs less and less unique, you'll actually start seeing the price of these guys go down as replacement value becomes higher and higher.
6) You're probably looking at 1-2 more years top with Beast Mode at the top of his game. Like WRs, you can always plug/play RBs on the cheap and get with good value in the draft.
7) Ultimately, the success of this team going forward to build as a long-term Super Bowl contender will depend on the health of the stars, the ability to draft well to maintain a well stocked depth, and the ability to lure free agents on favorable short-term deals at a shot at the Super Bowl.
It's definitely a doable process. New England's basically done the comparable for going on 15 years.
Earl Thomas I think makes it way easier for the corners to play their position. I still think Sherman is one of the best, but having a ball hawk like ET in the back is a luxury he has that not many (if any) elite corners have.
That board is a mixture of stupidity and delusion
I can't wait until our first big loss in free agency and the uproar some of those fucks are going to have.
Glad someone finally mentioned seahooks.net. There are a couple of krisvashon-like female posters over there who are dumb as fuck, blitzer88 who is always on the brink of a stress related heart attack, and some guy who started a thread saying he would much rather have Tate than Harvin. Complete dreck.
Kearly is ok but he is a huge doog and was raving about Sark last year. Also wants us to draft ASJ in the 1st round.
Blitzer88 is fucking awful, he made a post prior to the SB saying the hawks might be overdoing their practices and it might hurt them in the game.
I think mizzouhawkgirlFS is the exact one you're talking about. Practically Krisvashon 2.0. Throwdown is also a fucking idiot
