Seahawks Release Four To Become Salary Cap Complaint

The Seahawks have finalized a number of expected cuts today per Ian Rapoport, releasing Dre’Mont Jones, Roy Robertson-Harris, Rayshawn Jenkins, and George Fant. The four moves will clear $27.25 million in cap room while creating $18.4 million in dead money.

Jones will save the team $11.572 million and carry a large dead money number of $14.07 million. Jones signed a three year, $51.5 million contract with Seattle as a free agent in 2023 and never really lived up to the salary number. His contract was restructured for cap relief last season.

The release of Jenkins will save the team $5.28 million and he carries just $2.5 million in dead money for the year. He had signed a two year, $12 million contract last season but wound up appearing in less than 50% of the snaps for the team in 2024.

Seattle traded a 6th round pick for Robertson-Harris last year. He was going to count for $6.6 million on the salary cap. There is no dead money associated with his release.

Fant had signed a two year deal worth $9.1 million last season but was injured and his age worked against him coming back. Fant will count for $1.85 million on the Seahawks cap this year while they save $3.8 million in cap room.

Seattle is now under the salary cap for 2025. They should have in the ballpark of $16 million in cap room, ranking 23rd in the NFL.
