Seahawks Bringing Back Poona Ford
4 years agoThe Seattle Seahawks re-signed nose tackle Poona Ford to a two-year deal that can be worth close to $14 million with incentives on Tuesday, according to a source. Ford will receive over $4.4 million in 2021, which is more than the second-round tender, and will have a chance to make more money in 2022. He'll enter free agency at 27 years old. The 25-year-old has been a full-time starter alongside Jarran Reed the last two years in Seattle and has been one of the defenses most underrated players. He had career-highs in 2020 with eight tackles for loss, two sacks and nine QB hits while developing from an early down run-stuffer to a three-down defender capable of pressuring the quarterback. Ford's pass-rush snaps have increased in each of the last two seasons. Seattle won't tender their other two restricted free agents, linebacker Shaquem Griffin and guard Jordan Simmons.
