While the Seattle Seahawks passing offense sputtered towards the end of the season, 2020 still saw a major second-year leap for DK Metcalf, a career-high 100 receptions for Tyler Lockett, and career-best numbers almost across the board for David Moore.
Now picture for a moment that only Metcalf is on the Seahawks roster in 2021. Unthinkable? Not necessarily.
Lockett is entering the final year of his contract and according to Overthecap.com, cutting or trading him would incur $2.7 million in dead money but $12.7 million in cap savings for a team that is projected to be in a pretty hellish cap situation.
