Quote:Browner wasn't cut he was suspended, the Seahawks opted not to resign him though.


Losing McDaniel wouldn't be too significant if he was all they lost up front. As mentioned earlier they also lost Clemons and Bryant, the combination of those 3 being gone reduces the effectiveness of their D-Line.


Their D-Line was so good last year because they had good starters (like Bryant & Clemons) but they also had solid rotational guys (like McDaniel) to keep the pressure on the QB.


I have no idea about their cap situation.

 

With the huge contracts the Seahawks gave Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas in the off-season,   along with the sizeable contract that they gave Michael Bennett,  the salary cap led to the Seahawks making difficult personnel decisions.   It's only going to become more pronounced for them when they give Russell Wilson a mega contract.    Not to mention re-signing LT Russell Okung,  which won't come cheap.   It will be interesting to see if they will be able to retain Jacksonvile native DE Cliff Avril,  who is scheduled to be an UFA in 2015.
