When the Seahawks took a punter in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Seattle's front office was ridiculed.

Now years later, Seattle has inked the Texas product with an extension, inking Michael Dickson to a four-year extension with $14.5 million in new money per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Dickson will earn $10.6 million in the first two years of the deal. The signing itself was broke by Mark Sanchez of GOAT Farm Media.

With the deal, Dickson will be with Seattle through 2025. He's set to earn $3.384 million in base salary next season.
