Over the course of this past week on multiple occasions I have come across fans who are unaware of the cap impact of Kam Chancellor’s injury on the Seattle Seahawks 2019 cap. Thus http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-russell-wilson-jersey , this is simply a quick hitter to take advantage of the bye week when there is not a lot of news to bring everyone up to speed on exactly what the situation is regarding Kam’s 2019 cap figure. When Chancellor signed his third contract with the Seahawks during 2017 training camp, the contract was a three year, $36M extension, with $25M guaranteed. Now, of that $25M in guarantees, just over half of it was in the form of full guarantees with the remaining portion guaranteed for injury only. The full guarantees included his $10M signing bonus and his $3M 2017 base salary. That left $12M in guarantees which were guaranteed for injury only. Those $12M in injury guarantees were in the form of $6.8M of his 2018 base salary and $5.2M of his 2019 base salary. Further complicating things for the Seahawks salary cap in this situation for 2018 was the conundrum that teams cannot cut an injured player in the same season in which they are injured, and Chancellor’s 2018 salary became fully guaranteed just days after the Super Bowl back in February. Thus, as I wrote about back in January, the issue the team faced in relation to Kam this offseason was that they knew he was likely to be unable to play at anytime in the future, but they could not cut him prior to his salary becoming fully guaranteed because of league rules regarding injured players. This is also why Kam has not formally retired, as doing so would forfeit his right to collect on these injury guarantees, and Kenneth wrote about this as far back as Thanksgiving weekend last fall.I am sure that the confusion is simply a result of the fact that salary cap sites, such as OverTheCap.com and Spotrac [url=http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-Authentic th-fan-jersey]12th Fan Jersey[/url] , do not have the injury guarantees accounted for in their numbers. However, there are ample sources where this information can be verified without having to simply rely on my say so, includingThe Seattle TimesForbes King5ESPNThe Washington PostThus, while Kam Chancellor will probably be cut by the Seahawks at some point this offseason, his cap hit in 2019 is likely to be $10.2M. That number is comprised of the $5M in unamortized signing bonus that is still on the books on top of the $5.2M in base salary which is guaranteed for injury. On the Seahawks, Mike Davis stands out about as much as a person named “Mike Davis” would. That’s not meant to be a dig on him or people named “Mike Davis” but it’s just one of those super common first name, super common last name combinations. On the field, Davis has had his moments but hasn’t proven to be starter caliber like Chris Carson nor does he have the first round pedigree of Rashaad Penny. Because of that, and because of the fungibility at the running back position where C.J. Anderson could potentially be a Super Bowl MVP in 10 days, it seems as though Seattle will let Davis, an unrestricted free agent, test the market.What will the market think of him?Davis was actually a fourth round pick out of South Carolina in 2015, which is fairly high for a running back given the sheer amount of options. He was a two-year starter for the Gamecocks Authentic Jarran Reed Jersey , rushing for 2,165 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 5.4 yards per carry during his sophomore and junior seasons. The San Francisco 49ers drafted him (having also taken his former teammate Marcus Lattimore as a fourth round running back just two years earlier) and put him in the competition with Carlos Hyde during Jim Tomsula’s lone season. Davis rushed 35 times for just 58 yards and went on injured reserve with a hand injury after only six games.In year two, now under Chip Kelly, he played in eight games and carried it 19 times for 50 yards. He was then waived in May of 2017 and picked up by the Seahawks. Pete Carroll cut Davis but kept him on the practice squad, activating him in November as Seattle had the worst RB duo in NFL history — or at least that’s how I’ll always remember it.Given an opportunity to be “anyone but Eddie Lacy,” Davis rushed 68 times for 240 yards. His highlight day perhaps being a 64-rushing, 37-receiving day in a big win over the soon-to-be-champion Philadelphia Eagles. But FootballOutsiders barely liked him more than Lacy and Thomas Rawls, the two lowest-rated backs in the NFL in 2017 who were under 100 carries. Davis was -38 DYAR and -29.2% in DVOA.Negative is bad.However, in 2018, Davis was given perhaps a bit better blocking and was a complement to a much better running back in Carson. He carried it 112 times for 514 yards, including a 101-yard Youth Nick Vannett Jersey , two-touchdown day against the Arizona Cardinals. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry and over the final eight games, was over 5 yards per carry. He also finished 19th in DYAR, just six spots behind Carson, and his success rate was actually better than Carson’s. In certain situations, Davis has proven to be a valuable back, and perhaps as a starter he could produce at a level like Alex Collins. Which is to say that he is likely expendable for Seattle and not someone they are likely to regret losing if it comes to that.That being said, maybe the Seahawks will re-sign him if he can’t get significantly better money elsewhere. I can’t imagine that there will be a lot of money spent on Davis unless a team like, you guessed it, the 49ers pulls another Jerick McKinnon situation. McKinnon shockingly got $30 million from San Francisco last year, more than any other running back by a wide margin. The next range was a four-year, $19 million deal for Dion Lewis, a three-year, $15.25 million deal for Hyde 4Justin Britt Jersey , a three-year, $12 million deal for Isaiah Crowell, and a three-year, $9.75 million deal for Rex Burkhead. Crowell had 737 career carries when he hit the market and was actually pretty decent at times. Hyde had 655 carries. Lewis was at 329, but also known as a good receiver. Mike Davis is currently at 234. Burkhead had only 151 career carries at signing but was actually re-signing with the Patriots so they knew what they were getting and what they wanted. I’ll be shocked if the Seahawks feel they need to re-sign Davis to a multi-year deal when they’ve just drafted Penny and still have Carson.Instead, I think teams are probably looking to spend $1-2 million for one year for a player like Davis. His “competition” on the market looks to be Le’Veon Bell, Kareem Hunt, Tevin Coleman, Mark Ingram, Jay Ajayi, T.J. Yeldon, Anderson, Spencer Ware Tyler Lockett Jersey , Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Latavius Murray, Alfred Blue, Alfred Morris, Ameer Abdullah, Ty Montgomery, and so on. There are options. If Davis does find a good situation and does end up starting, then maybe that one-year deal this year does become a three-year deal next year. With the Seahawks, that is unlikely to happen.
