49ers could benefit from rival Seahawks' questionable offseason moves

What would you do with $52 million?

Most of us aren't in charge of running NFL teams, but even so, one could reasonably question how the Seattle Seahawks have spent their money this offseason. The 49ers' chief rivals in the NFC West entered the offseason ranking among the top 10 teams in the league in available cap space, and frankly, what they have to show for it leaves plenty to be desired.

The 14 most expensive free agents the Seahawks have signed will combine for an approximate $52 million cap hit in 2020. Seattle clearly went the quantity over quality route, because it would appear that money could have been spent on considerably better players.
