Seahawks get bad news from Falcons extending Grady Jarrett

On Monday the Atlanta Falcons and Grady Jarrett agreed to a contract extension of four-years and $68 million. This averages out to $17 million a season. Jarran Reed of the Seahawks will be a free agent after 2019 unless Seattle slaps the franchise tag on him. This seems unlikely. What is likely is that Reed is going to get paid a lot of money by someone somewhere, it just might not be Seattle.

The problem for general manager John Schneider and Seattle is that not only did they need to re-sign quarterback Russell Wilson before next offseason (which they have already done), but they need to find money for the best linebacker in the NFL, Bobby Wagner.
