Seattle has a B.J. Finney and Dunlap acquired Dunlap in the middle of last season for the 2021th 7th Round Peak and he was one if not the most productive pass rusher on Seahawks defense in the second half of the season.
Dunlap had one extra year left on his contract when Seahawks acquired him, and if he was to be cut he was to hit a cap of, 14,037,500, with a dead cap number of $ 0. So, John Snyder and Seahawks decision makers discovered that Dunlap, with his age and current cap situation, is not worth 14 14 million for one more season.
There has been talk that the team is optimistic about re-signing the 32-year-old but at a cheaper rate, but it is possible that Dunlap will get a new home wherever he wants a deal.
Seattle now has Russell Wilson, possibly by signing an aggressive lineman free agent or spending elsewhere. This is about $ 14 million to spend offseason to secure.
But this is probably not the news you wanted to hear to start the new week.
