This offseason the Seattle Seahawks dug into their bag of cap tricks to use void years in player contracts for the first time in franchise history. Doing so effectively allowed the team to borrow from the cap space of future seasons and to add or retain several players they might not have been able to do otherwise. The list of players who signed contracts which included void years was not short and included Chris Carson, Carlos Dunlap, Ahkello Witherspoon, Gerald Everett, Ethan Pocic, Kerry Hyder and Benson Mayowa.
However, it appears that at least one of the players that the Seahawks used the future cap space credit card may wind up on the bench to open the 2021 season.
