Sources: Seahawks DT Reed back on 3-year deal

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed is returning to the team on a three-year deal worth up to $25 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Reed is coming off a strong season with Seattle, recording 4½ sacks, 5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in 17 games. His 680 snaps were second most among Seattle defensive linemen, behind Leonard Williams.

The deal keeps him out of free agency.

Reed, 32, a Seahawks 2016 second-round draft pick out of Alabama, has been the team's last link to its defenses from the "Legion of Boom" era.

He spent his first five seasons with the Seahawks before they released him in 2021 amid a contract dispute. He landed with the Kansas City Chiefs after that and then spent the 2022 season with the Green Bay Packers before returning to Seattle in 2023.

Known as a run-stuffer in college and early in his NFL career, Reed emerged as a pass-rushing threat in 2018, recording 10½ sacks that season. He has 38½ sacks over nine seasons, including a combined 11½ over the past two.
