It’s an often-overlooked aspect of the NFL, but the salary cap and contracts play a big part in whether or not a team is competitive. The Seattle Seahawks are certainly no exception, especially considering that Russell Wilson accounts for about 15 percent of their annual cap space.
That’s why it’s always important to avoid bloated contracts and find value in young, inexpensive players. As it turns out, the Seahawks have done an excellent job in both regards.
Today, though, I want to focus primarily on the players who fit into the “value” category.
