This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Winning a Super Bowl often creates difficult offseason decisions. For the Seattle Seahawks, that reality is already setting in. Following their championship run, attention has shifted toward major contract considerations, including the future of veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
With significant cap figures reportedly tied to Seattle’s post-Super Bowl roster evaluation, questions are emerging: will the Seahawks keep Kupp, or will financial pressure force a major change?
How Much Does Cooper Kupp Count Against the Cap?
While exact cap details depend on roster accounting and restructuring scenarios, veteran wide receivers of Kupp’s caliber typically carry sizable cap hits tied to guaranteed money and bonus structures.
Teams in Seattle’s position must evaluate:
- Dead money implications
- Post-June 1 designations
- Potential trade market value
- Long-term roster balance
Moving on from a player of Kupp’s stature is never purely financial; it’s strategic.
Conclusion
The Seahawks’ decision regarding Cooper Kupp will be one of the defining storylines of their post-Super Bowl offseason. While his on-field value remains clear, cap considerations introduce real complexity.
If Seattle restructures or extends him, it signals an “all-in” mindset for another title push. If not, it could mark the beginning of a calculated roster transition.
