SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks' surprising decision to withdraw the restricted free agent tender on safety Ryan Neal last week was a product of how active they’ve been in free agency and how much they still have to do.
With the makeover of their front seven still far from complete, the Seahawks still want to add more pieces to their defensive line. But their atypical spending spree has left them tight against the salary cap, so much so that they parted with a productive and popular back-end player in Neal to save less than $3 million.
