Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Seattle Seahawks transition free agent OG Steve Hutchinson (Seahawks) has been signed to an offer sheet worth $49 million over seven years. The deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money and holds a very high salary cap number for the first year. The Vikings are using a high cap number for the first year to prevent the Seattle Seahawks from matching the offer.
thats the vikes entire cap right there. no wonder they only went after crappy FAs.

Wow. That's a pretty high number for a guard. I mean, I like Hutch and wish we could have drafted him instead of Rod Gardner (Seattle picked right before us in '01). ESPN said that is the record for an offensive guard. I guess if you REALLY need him, that's one thing. But come on, $16 million bonus for a
guard?
