The Seahawks have re-signed safety Bradley McDougald to a three-year deal worth up to $13.95 million, according to a report from Mike Garalofo of the NFL Network.
The signing had been widely anticipated as likely after McDougald started nine games for Seattle last season, including the last seven at strong safety in place of the injured Kam Chancellor.
With Chancellor’s future remaining cloudy due to a neck/nerve injury, re-signing McDougald was viewed as a priority for the Seahawks and he becomes the first of the 16 players on the team who could become unrestricted free agents this week to re-sign.
