John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.
The new NFL year does not start until Wednesday, March 12, but the Seattle Seahawks have had a busy week priming their roster ahead of the start of the legal tampering period on Monday.
First it was a quartet of cap cuts on Tuesday, followed by the release of Tyler Lockett on Wednesday. Then on Thursday the Seahawks announced that they had agreed to terms with fourth year cornerback Josh Jobe, who had been scheduled to be a restricted free agent.
