Well, so much for the Seahawks's cap flexibility. They entered the week with $12.9 million in cap room and Sherman took it all. He was on the books for $1.5 million in 2014 and absorbed all of what Seattle had to work with. Cuts are coming. Percy Harvin looks like he'll never make it to camp with his cap number.

I love it when these teams have big seasons and instantaneously go nuts with money and strap themselves in for take-off to Camp Cap Hell. The Ravens gave Joe Flacco absurd money and diminished their whole team.
The Patriots drive many people around these parts nuts by playing hard-ball with their veterans and letting guys go in free agency for much bigger pay days. But somehow they always have enough money to put a really good, really deep team on the field.
