Seahawks left tackle Paul McQuistan is also due to enter free agency; his cap hit last season was $3,375,000. He and right tackle Breno Giacomini are going to be the most interesting free agent talks in the Seahawks camp because of pass protection, a pivotal element in the Seahawks’ success this season.
Then there's wide receiver Golden Tate. Ending the 2013 season with 898 yards and five touchdowns, Tate’s $880,000 could be an interesting bargaining chip. He was targeted 31 more times this season in comparison to 2012, and has improved every season since he joined the team in 2010.
Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett leads the team in cap hits with $4,800,000 and in sacks averaging 8.5. It would be a surprise if they let him go, but I don't think that will be the case. Bennett still has a lot to contribute to the defense and can provide essential leadership entering the NFL 2014 season.
Finally, the last in line with a cap hit of $4,750,000 is Right tackle Breno Giacomini. However, he doesn’t seem to be worried due to the fact he’s in and out of the country conducting sports camps. He's going beyond the NFL brand and is making a name for himself beyond the Seahawks field. I don't think he's going anywhere for 2014, but he could be a topic of discussion.
