We have taken care of a lot of our own in the last couple of years and next year we will take care of Kaep, Aldon, Mike Iupati, A.Davis and hopefully Crabtree(I actually think that Crabtree won't cost as much as most think, again I am a dreamer). We have the resources to do this. Add to that our surplus of quality draft picks,and I honestly don't see how this is going to be competitive for more that a year.
How are the Seahawks going to give Sherman an extension when they are already over the cap?

The off season isn't over yet
I expect more cuts, trades and or new/restructured contracts in order to make any necessary room...
John has something in mind in order to make the statement:
"There's a plan in place here, and there's several different phases to free agency, so we'll see how that goes," Schneider said. "But in the meantime, we'd really like to just kind of focus on our own guys, our younger players that we've drafted."Not sure how many they can focus on but, I would imagine their list of 2013/14 priorities might include some mix of: Chancellor, Tate, Haushka, Browner, Robinson, Giacomini.
btw ~ I don't believe Sherm can extend until after this season
Sherman cannot extend until after this year, that was kind of my point. Right now the Seahawks are over the cap next year. I understand that some things will change, but you guys are going to have to lose a lot of key guys to sign your best guys. I am the farthest thing from a cap expert, but the Seahawks have some bad deals on their books right now. I know the Niners also have 1 bad deal on their books(Rogers), but that is about it. Most everyone else is signed to a very cap friendly deal. Having 7 picks in the first 4 rounds of the draft doesn't hurt. We will likely have a lot of picks in next years draft too.
edit to say: The Seahawks are all in for this year because of the cap, the Niners are all in for the next 5+ years because of the cap. Which situation would you prefer?
