The Seattle Seahawks are signing outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu to a three-year extension worth up to $59 million, his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The deal includes $32 million guaranteed and comes two days before the Seahawks' first practice of training camp.
Nwosu, 26, was the Seahawks' best pass-rusher last season and a bright spot on their underperforming front seven.
In his first season with Seattle after four with the Los Angeles Chargers, Nwosu set career-highs in sacks (9.5), QB hits (26), forced fumbles (four) and tackles for loss (12) while starting all 17 games.
