SEATTLE -- At a glance, the Seahawks' salary cap situation at the start of the offseason looked dire, with Seattle sitting roughly $30 million over the projected spending limit.
"Doomsday," general manager John Schneider said on a Seattle Sports 710-AM radio show.
Schneider was being sarcastic, because in reality, the Seahawks had a clear path that would take them from being several million in the red to having enough cap space to be active when free agency begins next week.
That plan included the releases of Tyler Lockett and four other players this week -- saving roughly $44 million against the cap.
