The Seattle Seahawks are making big financial moves to position themselves for the 2025 NFL free agency. By restructuring contracts and parting ways with key players, the team is creating cap space to bring in fresh talent and remain competitive in the upcoming season.
Biggest Roster Moves So Far
One of the most surprising moves was the trade of quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders. In return, Seattle received a third-round draft pick, but more importantly, they freed up $31 million in cap space. This gives the team financial flexibility to explore options at quarterback, whether through the draft or free agency.
Another major change was the release of veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett. Lockett has been a key part of Seattle’s offense for years, but this move signals a shift towards a younger receiving core.
The team also cut defensive linemen Dre’Mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris, safety Rayshawn Jenkins, and offensive tackle George Fant. These moves saved an additional $27 million, bringing the Seahawks’ total available cap space to approximately $36 million ranking them 19th in the NFL.
More Moves Could Be on the Way
Seattle isn’t done yet. There’s speculation that more cuts or trades could be coming, with big names like DK Metcalf and Noah Fant potentially on the chopping block. If both players are moved, the Seahawks could clear up to $64 million, pushing them into the top six teams with the most cap space.
What’s Next for the Seahawks?
With all these moves, Seattle has positioned itself as a serious player in free agency. General Manager John Schneider ensures the team is financially prepared to make a splash. Fans can expect the Seahawks to target key free agents, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines.
By clearing this cap space, Seattle is setting the stage for a potentially game-changing offseason, and Seahawks fans should keep a close eye on what’s next.
