Here is Scheftler's blog. Click here to go to link
And let's be clear about the term "cap hit". That is the total dollars remaining on the contract that was either guaranteed, or remains on the yearly average of the signing bonus.
Without explaining the calculation details, for example, when Shaun Alexander was cut in 2008, the cap hit was $6+M (he had 6 years remaining on his contract), compared to his 2008 salary of around $8M. The Seahawks saved almost $2M of cap space by cutting him.
With Hasselbeck, the cap hit if he were cut during the off-season would only be $3.2M (only 2 years left on his contact), compared to his 2009 salary of $9.5M, so the Seahawks could save a whopping $6.3M against the 2009 salary cap if Hasselbeck is traded or released.
With that $6.3M in cap room, and the actual savings of $9.5M, the Seahawks could potentially find a QB of the future, as Seneca Wallace is really just an average #2 QB, who likely would win between 5 and 7 games as starter for an entire season.
I guess the obvious is that if Hasselbeck remains on the team, and then can't play in 2009, it is Hasselbeck "victory lap", just like Holmgren had.

"Even Jim Zorn says Matt is a Championship calibur Q B."
Now that is a surprise. Jim Zorn, who gets much of the credit, says Hasselbeck is a good quarterback. What is he going to say? "Uh, he's not that good". I don't think so.
And yes, it does appear that most of the Seahawks fans (at least the ones who state their opinions) want Hasselbeck on the Seahawks next season regardless of his condition, and even if he can not play.
As showdog100 stated, "He has given this team and city his best", and apparently that alone is enough to mandate keeping him on the roster at $9.5M.
And I'm sure that the Seahawks fans will expect Ruskell and Mora to win, while the salary is spent for Matt to watch from the sidelines, and Seneca is running around on the field.
Winning is maybe important, but definitely down the list. Reminiscing about the past is obviously the first priority. Number 2 must be find ways to blame Ruskell for everything!
