If the odds already seemed against the Seattle Seahawks re-signing Bruce Irvin, those percentages likely grew even longer on Tuesday when the Philadelphia Eagles reached an agreement with defensive end Vinny Curry on a new deal.
According to NFL.com, the Eagles have re-signed Curry to a five-year contract worth $47.25 million, with $23 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus.
Could that contract influence what Irvin, Seattle’s first-round pick in 2012 and now set to become an unrestricted free agent, will ask for on the open market?
“Most definitely,’’ said former NFL agent Joel Corry, who now writes about salary-cap issues for CBSSports.
