(Reuters) - Quarterback Russell Wilson has agreed to a lucrative four-year contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks, the National Football League team said on Friday.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed by the Seahawks, but multiple reports said it is worth $87.6 million and includes a $31 million signing bonus.

The 26-year-old Wilson was a Pro Bowl selection in the 2012 season and also in the 2013 campaign, when he led the Seahawks to their maiden Super Bowl victory.
