Understanding Our Cap Situation: Why We Are Being Patient

[Jay3]

If Mebane doesn't resign with the Seahawks during this time, I have to believe it's because he's waiting until August 4 and we're still in the game.

An entire week is a LONG time for a player to wait, when he can take a deal with Seattle immediately.

Sorry I'm not real fimiliar with the salary cap so this may be a stupid question but how the hell are we so close to the cap? We have signed guys like Champ, Doom, Moreno, Orton, DJ Williams, Clady, Von(to an extent) to fairly big salaries but where is the rest of it coming from? I can't think of another player that would be costing us so much money. We had next to no pro bowlers last season and not saying we have no talent on the roster just that we don't really have a lot of big name players besides those mentioned(sorry if I missed someone).
