The headlines from the past week at PFR:
Extensions:
- The Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson agreed to a four-year, $87.6MM extension. The deal, which keeps Wilson under contract through 2019, includes $31.7MM in full guarantees.
- The Seahawks also extended linebacker Bobby Wagner, inking him to a four-year deal that will keep him in Seattle through 2019. The pact is worth $43MM in total, and contains $22MM in guarantees.
- Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan signed a five-year extension with Washington that is worth $57.5MM.
- The Vikings inked kicker Blair Walsh to a four-year deal, agreeing to a pact that will pay him $14MM through 2019.
Suspension News:
- The NFL upheld Patriots quarterback Tom Brady‘s four-game suspension, arguing that Brady destroyed his cell phone, which may have contained evidence that he was complicit in the DeflateGate scandal. Brady will challenge the decision in federal court.

“Suspension News:
The NFL upheld Patriots quarterback Tom Brady‘s three-game suspensions, arguing that Brady destroyed his cell phone, which may have contained evidence that he was complicit in the DeflateGate scandal. Brady will challenge the decision in federal court.”
Except that Brady’s suspension is 4 games, not 3.
It’s been fixed. Thanks for the correction!
