With the 2017 regular season winding down, the Seattle Seahawks head into their final home game of the season with several tough roster decisions to be made in the coming months. Complicating things is the salary cap situation for 2018, where the team does not have a ton of cap space, and there is not likely to be any salary cap carryover from the 2017 league year due to the simple fact that, as has been mentioned here before, the Seahawks are actually over the salary cap this season.
As has been noted, a large part of the reason Seattle is over the cap has to do with the per game roster bonuses that have been incurred by certain players that have been on the gameday active roster more times in 2017 than they were in 2016.
