We then use that cap space to try and get back to being a playoff team we know we are capable of being. If we’re still a pretender, then sell Gio at 50% and get the best return we can from a contender.
Gio is appealing to have at $3,375,000. Would be more appealing to a contender at $1,687,500 if we had to go that route. Seattle would only need to have 50% of Gio’s original salary for only a year.

I am not sure if the league allows that 'loophole' but can you imagine if every player Seattle took they immediately traded back to the other team for players and picks and retained salary on the player they took. Every team could essentially lower their cap hits, and Seattle could start with the same players they would have gotten anyways plus tons of picks and not needing to take any bad salaries to hit the cap floor.
Mind Blown
What a move that would be!
