Report: Seahawks to extend Julian Love
The Seattle Seahawks hit the practice field for the opening day of training camp Wednesday, and then head coach Mike Macdonald met with the media to provide insight and perspective on several topics.
However, some of the biggest news of the day for the team may be coming off the field, as NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that after releasing both Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams for cap reasons in March, the Hawks have reached an agreement to sign Julian Love to a three-year contract extension.

The three year, $36M deal, combined with the one season left on the original two year contract he inked in the spring of 2023, would keep Love in Seattle for four more seasons for a total of somewhere right around $44M.
Given the way the Hawks tend to structure their contract extensions, the move likely free up a small amount of cap space for the team, though with a new salary cap analyst in house, the amount freed up could be more substantial if John Schneider wants to get aggressive.
