I also think they might take Foote over Gourde and try to make a side deal with Tampa, I doubt they're going to help Tampa for free. I just like Gourde a lot
I might be wrong but I think you're allowed over the cap in the Off-season, you just need to be compliant by the start of next season. Tampa is already at $85M and don't have a full roster

I think the allowed overage in the offseason is 10%, so 89.65M? However, according to the entry on Wikipedia (I know, I know, maybe not 100% accurate) Seattle must stay within the cap:
"Furthermore, the 2021–22 salaries of the thirty players selected (as measured in terms of what is counted against the
salary cap, otherwise colloquially known as the "cap hit") must add up to between 60% and 100% of the 2020–21 salary cap (i.e. the full nominal cap, not the prorated cap for the shortened 56-game season that was played)."
But wait! That's 2021-22 salaries, it doesn't account for UFA/RFA signings then? Do UFA/RFA picks have to be signed to a contract for the expansion draft on July 21st? or can they be picked and signed later? ugh so confusing hahaha
