Seattle Seahawks continue to take care of their own players

Seahawks management has a terrific track record of keeping their own in-house

Seahawks offensive lineman Justin Britt is reportedly close to agreeing to a three-year contract extension with Seattle. A consistent starter on the Seahawks turnstile offensive line Britt is a bright light in the Seahawks quest for another Super Bowl run.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says the pending deal between the former Mizzou Tigers star could reach to more than $9 million per season.

Britt’s new deal would place him within the top five in average annual value among centers, tied with Falcon Alex Mack for third.

Britt has been extremely versatile for the Seahawks, who’ve rotated through offensive linemen since their last Super Bowl run. A second-round pick in 2014 Britt has played tackle, guard, and center for Seattle, all while missing only one regular season game. A knee injury forced him out of the 2015 NFC Championship game against Green Bay, but largely he’s been a healthy commodity for quarterback Russell Wilson.
