SEA: Richard Sherman extended

[run pMc]

"Much in the tenor of doing things the way he wants, Sherman unveiled the extension on his website before the team could make the announcement. The two-time, first-team All-Pro selection wrote the deal will pay him $57.4 million with $40 million guaranteed and will keep him in a Seahawks uniform through the 2018 season. The deal includes a reported $11 million signing bonus."

$12.431 mil is fully guaranteed now. The rest is guaranteed after the League year begins next year. Its an extension, so its a five year package.

Between Sherman and Earl Thomas, they have $67.7M in guarantees between two secondary players ($40M and $27.7M respectively).

Throw in Russel Wilson and this will surely top $100M+. They are surely gambling the cap will rise enough to average this money out.

he won't see all of that 40 million "fully guaranteed" until he's on the roster from the 2016 season

pft did a breakdown on it yesterday. he can be cut after 1 year and he'll have made 12 million. he can be cut after 2 years and make about 22-23 million for those 2 years

so its not 40 million "fully guaranteed", but he'll still make top cb money over at least the next 2 seasons
