If 1.65 million actually is his base salary.... wow. What a steal.

It's a weird anomaly for this year only, it's sandwiched between two season in which his base salary is 6 million. Strange, Seahawks probably had to do it a few years ago strategically for their cap situation.

I have to assume he will be dirt cheap? His cap number says $8M, but that was for the Seahawks. Would make no sense getting rid of Curry only to get another expensive DE of roughly equal talent.

 

If he’s cheap, I like the move, since I don’t think there was any chance we could keep Curry unless he took a big hometown discount.

Bennett is a better player than Curry for sure. I don't really think it's even close. Even with Bennett at age 32. 

Maybe my perception of those two is off so feel free to correct me. 

But what sweetens this deal even more is if that cap figure is in fact true for Bennett. Upgrade the position (IMO) and cut the expenditure. 

Howie is impressive.
