Seattle signs Jefferson, Fant to restricted free agent deals

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Offensive lineman George Fant and defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson both signed their restricted free agent contracts with the Seattle Seahawks on the first day of the team's offseason workout program.

Fant and Jefferson finalized their deals Monday. Fant signed a second-round tender worth $3.095 million for the upcoming season. Jefferson signed an original-round tender that will pay him more than $2 million. Jefferson was a fifth-round pick.

Fant has played both tackle positions during his time in Seattle and last year regularly served as a sixth offensive lineman reporting as an extra tight end.
