Is that $800k really so vital?

Will SEA be unable to pay the light bill without it? No, but why should they walk from it? They're actions are justified by the CBA.

The guy breached his contract. Lost on an arbitrator's ruling that declared he had to pay the prorated portion of the signing bonus back. Didnt appeal the loss. Simply has gone "squatter" on paying it back.

From ESPN:

McDowell spent the 2017 and 2018 seasons on the non-football injury list. Article 4, Section 9 of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement states that a player who is unable to play due to breach of Paragraph 3 of his contract may be required to forfeit signing bonus money for each league year in which a forfeitable breach occurred. The $799,238 the Seahawks are seeking represents two seasons' worth of signing bonus allocation, which totals $1,599,238, minus the $800,000 the team withheld.
