Palat should definitely be protected and Tampa will pay for Seattle to take whomever Tampa wants them to, probably TJ.
This should be Seattle’s strategy with every team that needs cap relief. If they do not pay take a low cap hit player similar to taking Desmith from Pitt, if they will not pay for them to take Matheson then Desmith or ZAR.
They should came away with a way better pick and prospect haul than Vegas but should not be nearly as competitive yet
