Seattle Seahawks running back/special teams star Leon Washington agreed Tuesday to a four-year contract worth about $12.5 million, according to a source.
The deal could max out at $16 million. The guaranteed portion of the agreement is $3.5 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Washington came to the Seahawks in a draft-day trade after making an amazing recovery from a compound leg fracture when he was with the New York Jets in 2009. Washington finished second to Joshua Cribbs of the Browns in Pro Bowl voting among AFC return specialists.
Washington had 27 rushes for 100 yards. As a returner, he had 57 kickoff returns, a 25.6-yard average per return and scored three touchdowns. As a punt returner, he had 22 chances with an 11.3 average, a career high.
