Seattle Seahawks Cut Four Players, Save Over $26 Million Cap Space

The Seattle Seahawks have made significant roster changes to improve their salary cap situation ahead of the 2025 season. They released four players, including defensive tackle Dre'Mont Jones, safety Rayshawn Jenkins, and defensive tackles Roy Robertson-Harris and George Fant, resulting in approximately $28 million in cap savings. These moves come after the Seahawks previously restructured Leonard Williams' contract, allowing them to transition from a $27.5 million deficit to a projected $32.6 million in salary cap space. Jones, who was the highest-paid free agent signing in Seahawks history, struggled to meet expectations, contributing to his release. The team still has potential avenues to create more cap space, including negotiations with quarterback Geno Smith for a contract extension. With these changes, Seattle is positioning itself to be more competitive in free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft.
