Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant got a six year 50.2 million dollar deal. Trufant had been franchised after the season, but was hoping for a long term deal since he was born and raised in Washington state and wanted to stay there. His deal is about $10 million less than other corners on the market have gotten because he offered Seattle a hometown discount. And now Seattle has secured two of its best defensive players, as LB Lofa Tatupu signed a six year deal last week. Now the Seahawks need to figure out who their backfield is going to contain as they have Cowboys castoff Julius Jones and the underachieving Shaun Alexander as the main candidates for starting running back.
No matter who it is, they will probably still win the extremely competitive 
NFC West again this year.
