The Seattle Seahawks are fairly sparse by way of key unrestricted free brokers, however one in all them has simply agreed to a brand new contract forward of the beginning of Monday’s “authorized tampering” interval.

Reed, a second-round choose again in 2016, was identified out of Alabama as a high quality run-stuffing defensive sort out. He shortly turned a formidable cross rusher as his profession progressed, notching 10.5 sacks again in 2018. After one season with the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and a fairly lackluster spell with the Inexperienced Bay Packers, Reed returned to Seattle on a two-year deal and recorded seven sacks in 2023. He had 4.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits (the second-most of his profession) in his first season beneath Mike Macdonald, taking part in a key a part of Seattle’s much-improved defensive position.
All the time be cautious of preliminary contract reporting, lest you increase your eyebrows at a three-year, $25 million deal for a 32-year-old Reed. Past the wage cap improve, “value as much as” is the important thing to Schefter’s assertion, and we additionally don’t know Reed’s assured cash. It’s simply as probably that Reed is on an efficient two-year contract with straightforward outs earlier than a 3rd yr.
The one different distinguished unrestricted free agent for the Seahawks is linebacker Ernest Jones IV, so he’s the opposite main story on that entrance as the brand new league yr begins in a number of days.
