Seahawks, Ryan agree on six year contract
The Seahawks off season has officially started today and no it’s not because they hired a new team president and GM. They did not decided to join the coaching fire party that went on today so Mora, Knapp and Bradley all still have jobs with the Seahawks.
No today the Seahawks and Pro Bowl alternate punter Jon Ryan came to an agreement on a six year $9.1 million dollar contract with $1.9 million guaranteed and $1.6 million in signing bonus.
The Seahawks signed Ryan last year after they decided to parted ways with underachieving punter Ryan Plackemeier mid season.
Ryan racked up 4,068 yards on 88 punts with a 46 yard average per punt and 28 touchbacks.
Ryan was set to be a restricted free agent this off season but now doesn’t have to worry about his future.
Now the Seahawks next move is to decide on their new team president and GM. Also they will have to decide about their coaching staff as well and mainly if Jim Mora Jr. will be back or not.

If I recall, didn’t Ryan overcome cancer a few years ago? Am I thinking of the right guy?
Randy you are close, it was his father Bob who was diagnosed with cancer, and later died of it. Jon received the Ed Block Courage Award for his courage after losing his father.
