It's pretty low risk for the hawks, if he becomes a problem they will cut him and not think twice about it.
For a "player's coach", Pete Carroll has not been shy about laying the banhammer down.
I don't know exactly how the salary cap is calculated, but that million bucks they're scheduled to give TO would be much better spent on someone who isn't 38 years old. Receivers age like whole milk.

"Expecting production from Owens might be a long shot based on recent history. According to ESPN Stats and Information, of the 187 NFL players with at least 20 catches last season, Donald Driver was the only one older than 35. Hines Ward and Tony Gonzalez each had more than 20 catches, but were just 35 last season."
