The Seattle Seahawks are at a critical juncture this week, needing to make tough decisions regarding key defensive players Julian Love and Uchenna Nwosu. Love, a star safety, is slated for a $4.35 million guarantee, which makes cutting him impractical due to salary cap implications and his on-field contributions. In contrast, Nwosu's situation is more precarious due to his injury history over the past two seasons. A $6 million injury guarantee is looming, but reports suggest that the Seahawks might push this decision back, allowing them to reassess their options without adding immediate financial strain. Given they are already $16.7 million over the cap limit, the front office will likely evaluate roster depth and viability before finalizing these contracts. The possibility of restructuring quarterback Geno Smith's contract could also provide the needed cap relief to maneuver through these decisions effectively.
