Brian McIntyre, a salary cap specialist writing for Yahoo Sports, has obtained the contract details of Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor’s new deal.
Chancellor reportedly signed a four-year, $28 million extension, which included $17 million in guaranteed money.
According to McIntyre’s report, Chancellor received a $5 million signing bonus, and his $1.323 million non-guaranteed base salary in 2013 was increased to $2.825 million in fully guaranteed base salary as part of the deal.
McIntyre writes that the signing bonus and base salary bump increased Chancellor's cap number from $1,376,404 to $3,878,403, a $2,501,999. That bump in base salary for Chancellor leaves the Seahawks with around $4.698 million in cap space for 2013.
