LeRoy Hill-LB- Seahawks Apr. 30 - 8:16 pm et

Seahawks agreed to terms with LB LeRoy Hill on a six-year, $38 million contract. The deal includes $15.5 million guaranteed.

The Seahawks gambled when they lifted Hill's franchise tag after drafting Aaron Curry, but the tactic succeeded in getting Hill to sign a deal similar to the one he previously rejected. Still, after Curry signs his rookie contract in the $65 million range this will be one of the league's priciest LB trios. Offseason improvements on the line in front of them help, but linebackers are considered dependent players in the league, and Hill is undersizeed at just 6'1/238. It's hard to like this deal.
