RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Safety Kam Chancellor and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth up to $36 million with $25 million guaranteed. Seattle has now locked up one of their core players through the 2020 season and taken away the chances Chancellor leaves in free agency after this season.
After practice Tuesday, Chancellor said it was a big relief to get the deal done before the start of the season. “It’s already done and I don’t have to talk about it anywhere else. It’s set in stone and I can just focus on ball and capturing that super bowl ring.”
ESPN first reported the deal Tuesday morning.
