Let me see if I have this straight. The Seahawks don’t have a lot of cap space. They have several highly paid stars that are getting a bit older. They don’t have a lot of draft picks, either, as they traded their second round pick to the Jets for Sheldon Richardson, and their third to the Texans for Duane Brown. Obviously those picks were worth it, assuming they can re-sign Richardson.
Assuming the Seahawks draft at their current position in every round, their picks would count about $6.5 million against their already low $14.5 total cap space.
