RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Punter Michael Dickson is getting a long-term contract and a hefty payday after reaching agreement on a $14.5 million, four-year extension with the Seattle Seahawks, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Friday on the condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the extension.
Dickson is entering the final year of his rookie contract after being drafted in the fifth-round by the Seahawks in 2018. He’s been one of the elite punters in the league since his arrival. Dickson was a first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection as a rookie when he averaged 48.
