Jason Myers’ expensive return to the Seahawks is a better deal than it first appears

Jason Myers is once again a Seattle Seahawk, as was always his destiny. Cut in training camp last year in favor of the perfectly fine but also perfectly ancient Sebastian Janikowski, Myers made the most of his exile.

He finished 2018 as the NFL’s seventh-most accurate kicker. At 91.7 percent, which is, good. Six makes in seven tries beyond 50 yards. He went to the Pro Bowl for the Jets, which is, good, for the Jets, because 4-12 can’t be fun for everyone.

After news got out that the Seahawks and Myers agreed on a four-year deal in the vicinity of $15-16 million, you couldn’t log in to a Seattle sports site or turn on a sports radio show without hearing regret about how the front office let him get away last year.
