The Seattle Seahawks have successfully restructured outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu's contract to lower his salary cap number, allowing flexibility for the team. Nwosu, facing injuries in recent seasons, will now earn $19.51 million over two years, a significant reduction from his previous deal of $26.5 million. This new arrangement includes performance incentives worth up to $5 million. Additionally, Nwosu has opted for a new jersey number, No. 7, after a trade involving Geno Smith, further signifying a fresh chapter as he aims to return to form in the upcoming season.
Nwosu's restructure has been anticipated for several weeks, with general manager John Schneider confirming on his Seattle Sports 710-AM radio show last month that the Seahawks and Nwosu's agent were discussing a reworked deal.
He's scheduled to make $8 million this season while counting $11.85 million against the cap, roughly $9.4 million less than his original cap charge.
