Seattle Seahawks free safety Julian Love, fresh off his first Pro Bowl selection, agreed to a three-year contract extension on Wednesday, multiple media outlets reported.
The deal reportedly will be worth up to $36 million.
Love is halfway through a two-year, $12 million contract that brought him to the Seahawks in March 2023 following four seasons with the New York Giants.
He posted career highs in interceptions (four), passes defensed (10) and forced fumbles (two) last year while appearing in all 17 games and starting 12 times.
Love’s tackle total, 123, was one shy of his career high set the season prior. He logged 13 tackles on special teams, tied for the third-best total in the NFL.
“On the field, he has elite poise, and that’s something we’re chasing,” Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said in May. “If something doesn’t go our way, let’s keep our poise, play the next play. The game is slow to him, so to be able to communicate at a high level I think kind of shows you what it should feel like when he’s out there.”
The Notre Dame product was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft by the Giants.
In 81 career NFL games (44 starts), Love has nine interceptions, 28 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 414 tackles.
