The Seahawks cutting DE Cliff Avril may not save as much cap space as fans expect

Not long ago I took a look at why Kam Chancellor is likely to be a member of the Seattle Seahawks in 2018 regardless of whether he plays or not , and Friday new Field Gulls writer Andrea Hangst took a look at ways the Hawks might look to clear cap room in 2018. One of the moves mentioned in that article is the release of defensive end Cliff Avril, and while it is absolutely the case that releasing Avril will result in a large 2018 cap savings, exactly how large that savings would be remains to be seen.
