RENTON, Wash. (AP) The last time Julian Love went through the proce s of negotiating a contract extension with the team he was playing for, it got me sy to the point of him leaving town J.J. Watt Jersey .This time, the experience couldnt have gone better and it concluded on Thursday when he signed a three-year extension with the Seattle Seahawks worth up to $36 million.It was just great, acro s the board, Love said. This proce s in the past hasnt been the best for me. From (general manager) John (Schneider) down, all the guys, they were just so profe sional and I really appreciated how they handled it all.Loves deal will keep him locked up by Seattle through the 2027 season and anchors one spot in the secondary for new coach Mike Macdonald.ADVERTISEMENT It also was refreshing for Love after his last Jonathan Ledbetter Jersey contract proce s that played out during the 2022 season and into the offseason. Love wanted to stay with the team that drafted him, the New York Giants, but his desire for an extension went unfulfilled.Love ended up hitting free agency in March 2023 and the Giants chose to let him walk after he was offered a two-year contract worth $12 million by Seattle.Im a big proponent of when in doubt, double down on myself, he said. I think no matter what situation Ive been placed in, Ive stayed productive. Ive stayed who I am, which is tough when things sometimes dont fall your way. But I think thats the most validating thing is that I stayed true to myself in this proce s.Love arrived in Seattle last season as a No. 3 safety behind Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams, but quickly became an invaluable contributor by playing multiple positions. Love started 12 of 17 Robert Alford Jersey games and finished with career highs in solo tackles (85) and interceptions (four) and was selected to the Pro Bowl. He was the NFC defensive player of the week for Week 15 after having nine tackles and two interceptions in a win over Philadelphia.He said Colt McCoy Jersey the conversations about an extension with Seattle started in the spring before an agreement was finalized on Wednesday following the first day of training camp.I like a lot about his game. Really excited for him. I think its a shout-out to him and the type of person he is, the type of football player, Macdonald said Thursday. Definitely the type of guy that we want here.Love said the challenge moving forward is proving hes worth the investment Seattle made. He thinks that will happen if he continues Malcolm Butler Jersey showing his versatility by taking on multiple roles in Macdonalds defensive scheme.Thats what I do. I think thats what I do best. My entire career playing football Ive been able to do multiple things and for us to be succe sful I think we have to be multiple, Love said. We have so much talent, but it makes no sense if the talent is lined up in the same spot every play.___AP NFL:
