ith the NFL Scouting Combine coming up next week in Indianapolis, we’re preparing for weeks of 40-yard-dash clips and endless hype.

Analyzing Top Cap Charges for Super Bowl Champs - Over the Cap
This will be much like Jason’s Super Bowl series as I think that it created a whole new set of questions and analysis for it. When I look at the top cap charges of teams, I think of the main positions where spending should be in this era of football: quarterback, the men who protect him, players who catch his footballs, those who rush him, and the players who defend against the quarterbacks pass. So teams should be spending money on their quarterback, offensive line, defensive linemen (usually defensive ends), outside linebackers and cornerbacks. From here on out, let’s refer to those as “pass game positions.”

Seahawks fans duped by Super Bowl ticket scams urged to file complaint - Yahoo Sports
From Yahoo Sports: Washington state's top lawyer sought on Monday to bring some justice to any Seattle Seahawks fans who traveled all the way to Phoenix for the Super Bowl only to find they had spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on fake tickets. "Dealing with a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss is bad enough," Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement on Monday.

Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson's pass was intercepted in the final seconds of the game, leaving exasperated fans wondering why the team didn't simply hand the ball to powerhouse running back Marshawn Lynch to punch it into the end zone.

Ndamukong Suh: Seattle’s full-on aggressive off-season | Seahawks Draft Blog
According to this article by Omar Kelly, the Seahawks can look forward to $25m in free cap space this off-season. It’s certainly enough to do whatever they want with their current in-house crew. Russell Wilson will get a new deal. They can afford to give Marshawn Lynch a pay-rise. They can talk contract with Bobby Wagner and J.R. Sweezy.
