Dunlap Sought Out Russell Wilson Responds
SEATTLE (AP) — Seahawks defensive end Carlos Dunlap sought assurances from one player before he considered returning to Seattle on a new contract. He asked quarterback Russell Wilson if he was going to be with the team in the near future. The answer was yes, and with that settled, Dunlap quickly re-signed once the Seahawks made an offer. Dunlap had been briefly released to create salary cap space before returning on a two-year deal expected to be worth more than $16 million.
