The #Seahawks are re-signing NT Poona Ford to a two-year deal that can be worth close to $14 million with incentives, per source. Ford gets over $4.4M in 2021 — more than the second-round tender — with a chance for bigger money in 2022 and free agency in 2023, when he'll be 27.

The Seattle Seahawks are starting to make some moves ahead of the official first day of the start of free agency. Seattle is signing defensive tackle Poona Ford to a two-year contract extension. The move was first reported by ESPN’s Brady Henderson and confirmed by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“The Seahawks are re-signing NT Poona Ford to a two-year deal that can be worth close to $14 million with incentives, per source,” Pelissero tweeted. “Ford gets over $4.4M in 2021 — more than the second-round tender — with a chance for bigger money in 2022 and free agency in 2023, when he’ll be 27.”
The deadline to tender restricted free agents is at the start of the new league year on Wednesday. Any RFAs not tendered by that time automatically become unrestricted free agents.
