Seahawks, Trufant Agree to Six-Year Deal

As first reported by PFT's Mike Florio [1], the Seahawks have agreed to terms with cornerback Marcus Trufant, the first-time Pro Bowler who was designated the team's franchise player this year. The deal is estimated to be for six years and about $50 million, with $20 million guaranteed and $28 million over the first three years. Good deal for both sides, really -- the Seahawks take Trufant's $9.465 million franchise cap hit off the books for something far more reasonable, and the Washington State grad and Tacoma native stays home. This may allow the Seahawks to sign linebacker Leroy Hill to a long-term deal as well -- having just made Lofa Tatupu a "Seahawk for life", [2]this is a team looking to get its defensive ducks in a row.
