Linebacker K.J. Wright
It’s hard to imagine the Seahawks getting rid of one of their team leaders and franchise icons, especially coming off a career renaissance season at age 30, but Wright would clear $10 million in cap space, and the team does have Cody Barton and Ben Burr-Kirven waiting in the wings at the linebacker positions.
Still, Wright’s success in pass coverage and career-high 132 tackles last year are too valuable to get rid of altogether, so more likely the team will attempt to restructure his contract to potentially clear some cap space this season without losing a fan favorite.
The Seahawks can always find ways to clear space if need be, and with free agency just getting started, there will be a lot of player movement in the next few weeks.
