Seahawks Sign Trufant Long-Term

The Seattle Seahawks have signed cornerback Marcus Trufant to a long 6-year deal worth $50.2 million including $20 million in guarantees.

“It kind of just seems like everything is working out like a storybook in my life. I played ball here. I grew up here. I got to play college ball here, NFL ball here. I’m getting married in Seattle. Things just all come together,” Trufant said.

Trufant is a good corner and I’m surprised he accepted less than the Eagles gave Asante Samuel, but maybe some players are smart enough to know money isn’t everything.
