Seahawks signed DE Cliff Avril to a four-year, $28.5 million contract extension through 2018 with $16 million guaranteed pre Rapoport on Twitter (Rotoworld).
While not completely apples to apples since he was already under contract, its somewhat of a barometer when discussing JPP.
UFA in 2015 - ( New Window )
Thought Avril had 1 year left, but that's big news if he was an impending FA. He's older, but still, he's incredibly important for Seattle.
He's not getting Watt money, not worried about that. He may take that into his meetings but he's not making that money with even the most desperate of teams.
I won't bother saying where i'd be happy with him signing since we have no idea who else will be available or what the market truly is, but the Avril deal is promising and i'm a bit more optimistic now.
