- Josina Anderson reports the Seattle Seahawks and safety Kam Chancellor have agreed to a three-year, $36 million contract extension with $25 million guaranteed. The deal would make Chancellor the third-highest-paid safety in the NFL.
- Chancellor is coming off the best season of his career, in which he earned the third-highest overall grade among safeties at 91.2 overall. Chancellor and fellow safety Earl Thomas are the second-highest-graded safety duo heading into next season. Keeping them together long-term is a win for the Seahawks.
- In 2016, Chancellor was both incredibly productive defending the run, earning the sixth-highest run-defense grade among safeties at 90.0 while racking up 35 defensive stops, which ranked third and in coverage earning the sixth-highest coverage grade at 86.2. His five pass-breakups ranked sixth among safeties.
