I like the Hass contract... it never gets to be too bad (as far as QBs go), so they likely wont structure it off too badly in years to come. Good job Seattle's FO.

I don't think that info means a whole lot. Without the signing bonuses or possible roster bonuses you don't know how it really affects the cap. And the cap is all that matters now-a-days.
