Game plan: Cutting Dunlap seems likely. That would clear $14.1 million in cap space but would leave the Seahawks without their most accomplished pass-rusher, unless they re-sign him for less. If not, they ll need to add a primary edge threat. They ll also need at least another complementary rusher like Mayowa or Irvin. They can t count too much on Taylor, a second-round pick last year who didn t play as a rookie because of a leg injury. Jackson (neck) is not expected to continue playing. Defensive tackle Poona Ford is Seattle s only restricted free agent who s likely to be tendered.
