Jermaine Kearse Signs Restricted Free Agent Tender

Jermaine Kearse is definitely staying with the Seahawks now. The former husky signed a new deal… Sorta.

Per Adam Schefter:

Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse signed his restricted free-agent tender today, per source. Seattle had put a second-round tender on him.

In other words, he’ll be playing for the Hawks this up-coming season. Before this, another team could have signed him to an offer sheet – meaning that they will have to give up a second round pick to acquire him – but that never happened.
