This past Sunday the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, meaning the offseason officially kicked off for all 32 teams across the NFL. In addition, since the Super Bowl was played on Sunday, that means that Monday was the first day of the annual waiver period for the NFL. That is relevant for a number of reasons, and in particular it is relevant for several members of the Seattle Seahawks in that it started the five day countdown to Friday.
Specifically, when it comes to structuring contracts, the Seahawks often have a tendency to use salary that is effectively fully guaranteed, with those effective guarantees vesting into full guarantees on the fifth day of the league waiver period.
