Seahawks Sign Lofa Tatupu to 6 Year, 40 million Dollar Extension

Update II: ESPN is reporting that the Seahawks have signed Lofa Tatupu to a 6 year 40 million dollar extension that will keep Tats in Seattle through the 2015 season. Excellent move, needless to say.

Update: Word is that the Hawks are looking to lock up Lofa Tatupu for the next 8 years. If so, this would be a happy day in Hawktown.

I had something planned for this morning, but news calls. Seahawks Insider is reporting that Seattle will be holding a press conference at 12:30. Assuming the press conference is broadcast over Seahawks.com I'll take notes and post a rundown. If not, I'll compile what I can and comment where necessary. I don't know the subject of the press conference, but I'd guess the team has signed Marcus Trufant. It's been quiet on that front for a while and I know Ruskell recently upped his proposal. We'll see.

Trufant
Agreed.  It's probably not smart of me to predict something on which I could be proven wrong in approx. 18 minutes, but Trufant news would seem to be the most likely.  I don't think they'd call a news conference to announce they've cut Shaun.  I think they'd just announce that and try not to make a bigger deal out of it.  Just guessing though.

Not Alexander Or Trufant?
Danny O'Neil says in his blog that its neither Alexander or Tru. What could it then?

Lofa
Sounds like Seattle might have signed him to an 8 year deal.

8 Year Deal!
Wow I guess Ruskell knows that with Lofa improving every season its better to sign him long term now before his price rises even higher. He is such a good player. Why do we have such a good GM? :)

Grant, Kerney, Terrill, And Babs
They all restructured their contracts to give the Hawks more cap room. Class moves on their parts.

Cool
List of Seahawks current and future hall of famers:
  1. Largent
  2. Walt
  3. Tats
Takes a little bit of projection, but not all that much, to get Tats there.

It's petty, I know
but I'm happy to know that my Lofa jersey will be relevant for another six years.

Yay.
I ♥ Lofa.
