The deal is worth $36 million, including $25 million in guaranteed money. The 29 year old is entering his eighth season with the Seahawks, and has amassed 729 tackles and 12 interceptions.
The deal will keep Chancellor in Seattle through 2020. Chancellor starred at Maury High in Norfolk, and went on to become a two-time ACC Champion at Virginia Tech. Chancellor was a fifth round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.
