The contract of Chris Clemons reveals it is indeed the low-risk deal many assumed while also perpetuating Seattle's recent history of mostly taking care of its own players during free agency rather than hand out big salaries to those from other teams.
The details of the contract of the most-recent player the Seahawks have signed — veteran defensive end Chris Clemons, making his second tour with the team — are about what was expected.
Clemons, 34, signed a one-year deal worth a maximum of $1.5 million. But only $150,000 of that is guaranteed (a signing bonus) with Clemons having to earn the rest (details from Aaron Wilson and ESPN’s Sheil Kapadia).
