Seahawks Sign Cole

The Seattle Seahawks have dashed the hopes of the Green Bay Packers by signing away one of the Packers’ biggest offseason priorities, DT Colin Cole.

Early Sunday morning, Cole signed a five-year, $21 Million contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Cole’s contract includes $5 million guaranteed.

Cole had been in discussions with Green Bay, Tampa Bay but in the end decided he wanted to be the man to replace Rocky Bernard in Seattle.

With Cole off the market, Chris Canty finds himself as the only big name free agent defensive lineman left and could find himself the subject of a bidding war with teams like Tampa Bay, Green Bay and the New York Giants interested in his services.
