I disagree you can keep Tate at 7-8 mill a year.
You just cut Rice who has a cap number at 9.7 mill, by cutting him you take a 2.4 mill hit so you save 7.3 million.
Red Bryant makes 8.5 million, if you cut him you save 5.5 million.
Zach Miller makes 7 million, if you cut him you save 5 million.
Chris Clemons makes 9.6 million, if you cut him you save 7.5 million
Brandon Mebane makes 5.7 million and if you cut him you save 5.3 million(only guaranteed 400K)
Heath Farwell makes 1.6 million, if you cut him you save 1.5 million.
I'm not saying cut all these guys but you have room to pay Tate and still keep Sherman, Thomas and Wilson around. Also remember probably after 2014 you'll be cutting Lynch which will save you 7.5 million as he is only owed 1.5 million guaranteed.
Remember guys this is the NFL and to keep good players that means you have to get rid of older more popular players.
I think you need to try to hold onto Mebane, he has been rock solid for us for years. Red has been struggling so if he goes I am sure someone could step up. Clemons is probably too expensive but I don't see him getting cut if continues to get some sacks.
Miller is the big wild card, he doesn't show up in the stat sheet but he is the best blocking TE in the NFL which is really undervalued.
Regarding that draft it will go down as probably one of the best drafts for any team ever. So far this year's draft has been a pretty big bust but part of that has to do with Seahawk fans being spoiled with a few great drafts in a row.
