After the flurry of activity during the first week of free agency, things have settled down as teams have finished throwing around the silly money and have worked things down to where they are filling in the holes of the important, but lesser paid, role players.
For John Schneider and the Seahawks, part of that work this offseason was keeping core member of the special teams, Brady Russell, and swing tackle Josh Jones. Russell had been scheduled to be a restricted free agent, but after reaching agreement on a two year extension, he’s now set to be a Seahawk through 2027. Now, thanks to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston, how much Russell’s services will cost the team over the next two seasons is known.
