The Seahawks and wide receiver Doug Baldwin have agreed to a four-year contract extension, per multiple reports.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the new deal is worth “north of $11 million per year,” and Mike Garafolo of FS1 reported that it averages $11.5 million per season.
Baldwin had been set to make $4 million in 2016, the final year of the contract he was playing under prior to the extension. Baldwin, 27, has been a key part of the Seahawks offense since making the team as an undrafted rookie in 2011.
Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll said earlier this month that team intended to get Baldwin signed “for a good while” and that extending him was “a big deal.”
Baldwin’s 78 catches, 1,069 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015 were all career highs.
