Seahawks will cut Rice and Miller, saving them what, close to $18m next year? enough to get the couple free agents under contract. Willson is looking like he is ready to step in as starter at TE.
I don't think Wilson will be asking for $20m per either, he is a different breed when it comes to professional sports, he is more worried about the team than himself and as long as his agent doesn't screw things up he should come in with a long term contract allowing the Hawks to compete for years to come. This guy is going to be one of, if not the most marketable players in the league for the next 10 years imo because he is so different that any other player in the league professionally and personally.
Management will also be approached in the offseason by player agents with free agents looking to sign in Seattle, to be a part of the winning culture that coach Carroll has instilled in this team. The coming years could see some guys move on but could also bring in vets on cheaper 1-2 year contracts wanting to play for Pete. Coach is who everyone wants to play for, he is that respected by the players.
