The 15 biggest salary cap hits for the Seahawks in 2023

The Seattle Seahawks have undergone a pretty dramatic transformation over the last 16 months. Since what’s become a grand larceny type trade sending Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, the front office has remade the core of their roster into one that’s younger, better suited to compete in the modern NFL and yet still very-much a product of Pete Carroll and John Schneider’s team-building philosophy.

Nowhere is the change more apparent than the Seahawks’ salary cap outlook for the 2023 season. Where once Wilson’s next contract would have taken up a massive amount of resources, the money is now far more evenly-divided – reflective of a more balanced team overall. Here are Seattle’s 15 highest cap numbers this year.
