Sean is pretty smart, he's staying in Seattle! For the low low price of 60+ million. The O Line is staying put as well. His best stats will come behind the Seattle line, and he knew that.

62 million, 8 years.

8 years is a looonng time for a Runningback.

Its probably a back end loaded deal, with a nice signing bonus up front.

He'll never see the last three years of the contract. Smart to lock him up (finally). Very good RB playing behind a great offensive line.

are we still gunna hafta pay Sean HIS reparations too..??...I'm mean come on, I realize he wont get the full 60+ from the contract but I think he's gunna do alright just the same..

"8 years is a looonng time for a Runningback."

Yeah, especially a 28 year old running back. It's a smart move though and you can hear Seattle's big sigh of relief. I read some where that he'll get 15 million this year.

I think he needs to show another KY bro some love and send some of that green my way.

15mil Guaranteed

I'm just glad he's staying and we locked up the line as well. We could have lost Sean and found another quality RB to run behind that line. Losing Hutchinson would have been a big blow.

Forgot - Tank, that was funny!

Um... you ARE a Seattle fan, yes?

His name is SHAUN Alexander.

He earned that payday. BUT... invariably what happens after the back gets paid is they start the downward slide. I'm not saying it WILL happen, I am saying the odds are in favor of it.

Never be loyal to a back (other than emmitt).

You're worried about the spelling of Sean? People spell my last name wrong daily. It's a common Irish name with an uncommon spelling (mine means "Father of"). I'm really not worried about it. I'm sure SEAN isn't either. Thanks.
