Hart is the Seahawks\u2019 latest use of the Veteran Salary Benefit (VSB), which allows them to sign players with four minimum credited seasons <a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/explaining-the-minimum-salary-benefit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">but only have a cap charge equivalent to two credited seasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/minimum-salaries\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">For the 2026 season<\/a>, the minimum for two credited seasons is $1.075 million, while the minimum for a player with nine credited seasons (in this instance, Hart) is $1.3 million. Additional compensation (e.g. signing bonus) has to max out at $167,500 to still qualify for VSB status.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Hart\u2019s contract is so inexpensive that it doesn\u2019t even qualify for top 51 status, which is the number of players whose money counts toward the salary cap in a 90-man roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re curious as to how much Hart costs, as I\u2019m sure you are on this late June&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,82034,17166,27770,99],"class_list":["post-730034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-seattle-seahawks-salary-cap","tag-seattle-seahawks-news","tag-seattle-seahawks-offseason-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
