$140 million, what can it get you? Well it can get you a house, financial security, a nice car, and three top linebackers for the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks line backing corps combines to total $140 million just for three players.

Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu’s contract is worth $42 million over six years. Outside linebacker Leroy Hill’s contract is worth $38 million over six years and now top draft pick Aaron Curry’s contract is worth $60 million over six years.

The Seahawks have decided to build around their line backing corps on defense.

Lofa Tatupu is a three year pro bowler, Leroy Hill is getting a lot better and this season is his going to have to be his boom year. Aaron Curry was the fourth overall pick for the Seahawks in the 2009 NFL draft.

Now some people might think that $60 million is a lot for a rookie who hasn’t played a single snap in the NFL but the Seahawks take pride in top linebackers and feel that Curry will cement their line backing corps as one of the best.

Now that Curry is signed what it means for the Seahawks future this season and also for the other five years on that contract.

Curry is going to be the starting SAM for the Seahawks, as coach Jim Mora said at training camp today. He would be out there with the first team starting if we played our first game tomorrow.

Lofa Tatupu is going to be the Seahawks starting middle linebacker for the rest of his future even if they got Patrick Willis.

Leroy Hill is going to play opposite of Curry at WSLB.

Curry, Tatupu and Hill are one of if not the best line backing corps in the NFL if they all play to their fullest potential which no Seahawk outside of John Carlson and Seneca Wallace did last season.

The Seahawks will demand that Curry either replicate or top Patrick Willis’ rookie season performance which was one of the best by a linebacker.

Willis had 174 total tackles, 135 solo tackles in his rookie season.

Curry is going to have to prove he’s worth that $34 million guaranteed money he got in his contract.

Now Curry isn’t going to be the only player in the line backing corps that needs to step up and prove their contract.

Lofa received his contract last season and he turned in his worst statistical season in his five year NFL career with a career low 94 tackles.

Leroy Hill got his money this off season and not only has to prove himself on the field but off it as well as Hill was busted for marijuana position right around the time he was entering free agency.

The Seahawks guaranteed even if Hill is suspended he still gets all $15 million that his contract guarantees’ him, out of the possible $38 million which is the total value of his contract.

Now the only thing left for the Seahawks and the fans is to come up with a nickname for the top three line backing trio (Curry, Tatupu and Hill).
