Seattle Seahawks are facing critical roster decisions ahead of the NFL's new league year starting March 12. Key contract triggers for players such as Leonard Williams and Julian Love are set for Valentine's Day, impacting the team's salary cap and roster composition. Williams has a $17.7 million guarantee, while Love's contract guarantees $6.75 million. Uchenna Nwosu is another player of concern due to recent injury issues, having missed significant playing time over the last two seasons.
As March approaches, Tyler Lockett's $5.3 million roster bonus and Gino Smith's $16 million bonus loom large. The Seahawks may pursue restructuring contracts or extensions to maintain flexibility in the cap, with potential savings of over $100 million if they cut several high-cost players. The decisions made in the coming weeks will shape the Seahawks' approach to free agency and the upcoming draft, where they hope to enhance their roster depth.
