Seattle began last season with undrafted rookie Dee Williams and free agent Laviska Shenault as its return men. Then in early December, after Williams and Shenault fumbled multiple returns in the team’s narrow win at the New York Jets, the Seahawks released them.

Former Seattle QB Russell Wilson signed a complicated deal with the New York Giants that makes him earn his full pay via incentives.

Take Washington, which is trying to work and repeat as a playoff team for the first time in over two decades. Or the Dallas Cowboys, who have a habit beating up on the Giants. Or the Philadelphia Eagles, who are after all the Super Bowl champs.
