(Earl) Thomas and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $40 million, sources confirmed Monday to ESPN.
NFL.com reported earlier Monday that Thomas agreed to the extension, which makes him the league's highest-paid safety in terms of average salary.
The deal includes $27.75 million in guaranteed money, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Thomas, 24, recently completed his fourth season with the Seahawks and was named to the Pro Bowl for the third consecutive year.

I guess this was to be expected. I'll be interested to see in how this affects their roster/salary cap through 2015 and beyond.
