Saturday has been a busy day for the Seattle Seahawks. After trading for Jadeveon Clowney in the morning, the team has parted ways with veterans Cassius Marsh and Jaron Brown in what can be described as cap moves. In addition, the team freed up some cap space when it traded Barkevious Mingo to Houston as part of the Clowney trade, and that raises the question about why the team would be looking to create cap space with more than $21M in cap space prior to the Clowney acquisition.
