Seahawks roster moves: Salary cap ramifications from Seattle’s transactions

On Tuesday the Seattle Seahawks officially moved cornerback Richard Sherman and running back C.J. Prosise to injured reserve, ending their seasons. With the team already tight against the cap after acquiring Duane Brown and Sheldon Richardson via trade earlier this season, these moves make the Hawks cap situation even tighter. It is highly doubtful that either Sherman or Prosise have salary reduction clauses for IR, thus their cap numbers should not change going forward. Their full cap hits should continue to count against the team’s salary cap for this season, and all the calculations here are based on that assumption.
