A $600,000 signing bonus seems to indicate the Seahawks are expecting Janikowski to be their kicker in 2018.
Turns out, now that we know the details of Sebastian Janikowski’s contract with Seattle, the battle to replace Blair Walsh as the Seahawks’ kicker may not be quite as intriguing as we thought.
According to a report from ESPN, the 17-year veteran Janikowski received a one-year contract worth up to $2.015 million (which is also the max salary cap hit) that includes a $600,000 signing bonus.
The bonus alone is almost more than the entire contract of Janikowski’s competition, Jason Myers, who signed a one-year deal worth $705,000 in January, the veteran minimum, with no bonus and nothing guaranteed.
