General manager John Schneider has built a well-balanced squad, with no player scheduled to carry a charge larger than $15 million in 2025. Having analyzed the financial situation, we&#8217;ve identified Seattle&#8217;s three-largest scheduled cap charges on offense heading into the new season.<\/p>\n<p>Noah Fant, TE<\/p>\n<p>Veteran tight end <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2025\/05\/29\/seahawks-te-noah-fant-ranked-as-no-25-according-to-pff\/83928969007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Noah Fant<\/a> is currently slated to carry the Seahawks&#8217; largest cap charge on offense at $13.4 million. The Seahawks have drafted tight ends in consecutive drafts in AJ Barner and <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2025\/05\/05\/2025-nfl-draft-seahawks-rookie-te-elijah-arroyo-talks-jersey-number\/83455673007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elijah Arroyo<\/a>. Fant is entering a contract year and likely doesn&#8217;t factor into the team&#8217;s 2026 plans.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Darnold, QB<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks signed new starting <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2025\/06\/02\/sam-darnold-had-up-and-down-day-of-practice-at-otas\/83999546007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">quarterback Sam Darnold<\/a> to a three-year, $100.5 million contract in free agency. Darnold&#8217;s cap number is a very manageable $13.4 million this season, though he&#8217;s set to explode to $33.9 million in 2026 and $44.9 million in 2027. The upcoming campaign will be the lone one Seattle gets a huge discount on its QB&#8217;s cap number.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper Kupp, WR<\/p>\n<p>Cooper Kupp joined the Seahawks via a three-year, $45 million deal following his release from the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp&#8217;s cap number is just $9.3 million this season, scheduled to nearly double to $17.5 million in 2024. The Seahawks could release the aging wideout prior to the completion of his three-year agreement though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks are currently equipped with $31.2 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap.
