"Per a league source, it’s a six-year, $67 million deal that replaces the last year of Harvin’s rookie deal, at $2.775 million in salary.

Thus, the total average is $11.16 million. In new money (i.e., $67 million less the $2.775 million over five years), Harvin’s average annual haul is $12.845 million.

He gets a $12 million signing bonus, paid in full by the end of 2013 in a state that has no income tax.

The base salaries are $2.5 million in 2013 (fully guaranteed), $11 million in 2014 (guaranteed for injury for now, fully guaranteed on fifth day of the 2014 waiver period), $10.5 million in 2015, $9.9 million in 2016, $9.95 million in 2016, and $11.15 million in 2017.

Thus, $14.5 million is fully guaranteed, with another $11 million guaranteed fully after the 2013 season. The total guarantee, then, is $25.5 million.

He also gets $36 million over the first three years of the deal."

Damn, going to be tough to sign some of the fa's.

dump rice imo, draft another WR

and with these three gone saves quite a bit and save 7 mil if we cut rice hes owed 9 but i think theres about 2-3 mil cap hit but saving 7 is worth it

so with these 4 out that frees about 20 mil

Michael Bennett DE 28 $4,800,000
Breno Giacomini RT 28 $4,250,000
Paul McQuistan OT, OG 30 $3,375,000

Wait, are you saying to cut Bennett Giacomini, McQuistan, and Rice?

no...IM speaking of next year..only cut rice...seeing how the other 3 are simply FA's...and rice isnt worth 9mil not when you can save 7 mil on your cap..and when you can draft a WR

and i can only pray Okung takes a pay cut... he def doesnt perform up to his contract.

I was confused by you saying those 4 being gone frees up 20m. Since they are FAs it frees up nothing. We need to pay Bennett, he is our best DLineman.

We can also dump clemons without much cap hit and keep bennet, clemons is getting old.

Rice and Clemons are gone. Cutting them both frees up ~15m. Red Bryant, Zach Miller, and Russell Okung are prime targets to restructure to free up even more space. Two main targets to re-sign are Michael Bennett and Golden Tate. Prime target to extend is Richard Sherman.

the seahawks free agent reciever curse is just as legit as the madden curse

deion branch
TJ houshmanzadeh (i bet you all forgot he was a seahawk)
sidney rice
nate burleson (kind of)
percy harvin

basically, we sign a big name free agent reciever, they either get hurt or their career ends.

we have to draft recievers for them to be good

Definitely drop Rice. I like Kearse a lot
