Seahawks restructure Dee Eskridge’s contract

The Seattle Seahawks have made a decision on wide receiver Dee Eskridge, but not the one that you might think.

With a year left on his rookie deal, the Seahawks have adjusted Eskridge’s contract to essentially play him on the veteran’s minimum. This will save Seattle a few hundred thousand more just by reducing his base salary from $1,471,842 to $1,055,000.

I take it this means Seahawks re-did Eskridge’s deal to give him the veteran minimum. He had been due to make $1.47 million this year and count $1.89 million against cap on last year of his rookie deal.
