season J.R. Sweezy Color Rush Jersey , the Seattle Seahawks (8-6) are on Sunday Night Football, looking to clinch a playoff spot against the #1 team in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs (11-3). Results from Saturday night put the Chiefs in position to win the AFC West and lock up a first-round bye with a win at Seattle.Last week, the Seahawks had their chance to clinch a wild card berth, only to lose to the San Francisco 49ers in a sloppy, rainy, poorly officiated game down in Santa Clara. They’re still in good position to make the playoffs even with a loss to Kansas City, but thanks to Washington’s defeat against the Tennessee Titans, we know that a win guarantees the Seahawks a postseason trip. Patrick Mahomes is the presumptive league MVP, and it’ll be a huge test for the Seahawks defense that has struggled over the second-half of the season. On the plus side, it looks like KJ Wright will return to his role as starting linebacker after missing more time with a knee injury, so that’s a major boost.Seattle’s offense wasn’t particularly great against the 49ers, and both right guard DJ Fluker and right tackle Germain Ifedi may not play due to respective injuries, which is bad news considering Kansas City’s pass rush. Beyond that, though? The Chiefs defense is among the league’s worst, so we could see a big night for Russell Wilson, Chris Carson, Doug Baldwin, and others. It figures to be a very entertaining matchup and a potential shootout that’s reminiscent of last year’s classic with the Houston Texans.Here are all the details you need on this massive primetime showdown, including broadcast information Quinton Jefferson Color Rush Jersey , live streaming options, radio commentary, television coverage, and more:TV ScheduleDate: Sunday, December 23rd, 2018Time: 8:20 PM ET/5:20 PM PTChannel: NBCAnnouncers: Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth (sideline reporter: Michele Tafoya)Location: CenturyLink Field | Seattle, WashingtonRadio: 710 ESPN Seattle/97.3 KIRO FM (click here for additional TV and radio affiliates outside of the Seattle area)Radio Announcers: Steve Raible, Dave Wyman (Reporters: Jen Mueller and John Clayton) Online Streaming: NFL Game Pass (Free 7-Day Trial) | Sling TV | YoutubeTV | PlayStation Vue | Sunday Night Football on NBC live streamCurrent 53-man roster: Click hereOpponent Blog: Arrowhead PrideSeahawks regular season schedule 2018September9/9: L 27-24 at Denver Broncos 9/17: L 24-17 at Chicago Bears 9/23: W 24-13 vs. Dallas Cowboys9/30: W 20-17 at Arizona CardinalsOctober10/7: L 33-31 Los Angeles Rams 10/14: W 27-3 “at” Oakland Raiders in London 10/21: BYE10/28: W 28-14 at Detroit Lions November11/4: L 25-17 vs. Los Angeles Chargers 11/11: L 36-31 at Los Angeles Rams 11/15 (Thu): W 27-24 vs. Green Bay Packers 11/25: W 30-27 at Carolina Panthers December12/2: W 43-16vs. San Francisco 49ers 12/10 (Mon): W 21-7 vs. Minnesota Vikings 12/16: L 26-23 (OT) at San Francisco 49ers 12/23: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (5:20 PM PT, NBC)12/30: vs. Arizona Cardinals (1:25 PM PT, FOX) Following the release of long time members of the Seattle Seahawks Doug Baldwin and Kam Chancellor, I looked at the impact on the salary cap for both this season and next.

Since the release of those two on Thursday, the team has made official the signing of defensive end Ziggy Ansah and also reportedly added run stuffing defensive tackle Al Woods. So, while we don’t have the full information on Ansah’s contract at this time, we can ballpark the numbers until the final numbers become known. As of right now, OverTheCap.com lists the Seahawks as having $33,044,068 in cap space for 2019, while the NFLPA public salary cap report lists the team as having $33 Tom Johnson Color Rush Jersey ,674,826. Both of those are within the same ballpark, so I’ll simply use $33M and call it good. The first thing to account for is the team’s draft picks. While the Hawks have signed four picks (Marquise Blair, Phil Haynes, Ugo Amadi and Ben Burr-Kirven), the seven other picks remain unsigned. Based on the projected first year cap hits from OTC for the slots in which those players were drafted, these are the numbers I will use for now when projecting their 2019 cap hits. L.J. Collier: $1,970,197DK Metcalf: $833,828Cody Barton: $716031Gary Jennings: $673,414Travis Homer: $530,839Demarcus Christmas: $526,958John Ursua: $515,668The next step is to figure out which of those are even relevant. During the offseason, only the players with the 51 highest cap hits count against the salary cap, and according to OTC that cutoff is at $610,510. However, that does not yet account for the three veteran players the Hawks signed on Thursday in Jamar Taylor, Nick Bellore and Marcus Martin. Those three players all have enough accrued seasons in the NFL that their minimum salary contracts will carry cap hits higher than that $610,510 threshold Rasheem Green Color Rush Jersey , so we’ll need to bump the cutoff up three spots. That moves the cutoff to $645,00, and allows us to immediately ignore the cap hits of Ursua, Christmas and Home. There’s no need to further confuse anyone with the specifics of the math, which I’ve already done, but signing Collier, Metcalf, Barton and Jennings will require roughly another $1.613M in cap space. Next we can go ahead and figure in the two recent additions in Ansah and Woods. We don’t know the specifics of Ansah’s contract, however, it sounds like he’ll carry a $9M cap hit to start 2019, so that’s what we’ll use. Reports on Woods have him signing for $2.25M. Adding those two cap hits together and then subtracting out the contracts that they would be replacing in the top 51 cap hits uses another $9.955M Thus, subtracting the amounts necessary to sign the draft picks and the two recent additions from the $33M in cap space we started with, it yields $21.43M in available space. That number is before accounting for the practice squad and injured reserve, which will require $1.36M and around $3M. Lastly, it’s also necessary to account for the $1.2M in potential injury protection payments for which Baldwin could qualify for after having been released with a failed physical designation. Deducting all those eaves the team with somewhere just under $16M in available cap space. Some of that space will likely be used on extensions for Bobby Wagner and Jarran Reed, and potentially on Germain Ifedi as well. Obviously there’s a lot of time between now and the start of training camp, so we’ll have to wait and see how exactly the team decides that cap space can be best put to use.
