Jermaine Kearse and Jeremy Lane have something in common other than that they play for the Seattle Seahawks. They’re both veteran players who are paid well and coming off a bad season. The NFL has a name for that players like that: salary cap casualty.
Take a look around the league and you’ll notice guys like Kearse and Lane getting the axe over and over again. In Seattle though, things are incredibly quiet. Neither of those guys are going anywhere.
Before you ask, the Seahawks aren’t just “being nice” or anything like that. Neither are either of these players good enough to be immune to the axe.
