Bryant stays put

Wed., March 14, 2012

The biggest target – literally – of all the Seattle Seahawks’ free agents is staying put. Big Red Bryant will be back as the outside anchor of Seattle’s defensive line. Bryant (pictured right), who seemed on his way out of the NFL until Pete Carroll arrived in Seattle, agreed to terms on a new contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, keeping their unique, 325-pound defensive end from bolting out of the Pacific Northwest. Terms of Bryant’s deal, which came on the first day of free agency, were not announced by the team. ESPN.com reported Bryant agreed to a $35 million deal over five years with $14.5 million in guarantees. Bryant transformed into one of Seattle’s most valuable defensive players after appearing on his way out after the 2009 season. – AP
