Defensive tackle Poona Ford is cashing in on a new deal with the Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

It's a two-year deal, worth up to $14 million with incentives. Ford is set to make $4.4 million this season.  That's quite a boost from what he made in 2020. The 25-year-old earned $750,000 in base salary last season.

Seattle signed Ford as a rookie free agent in 2018. In his third season with the Hawks, he had career highs with 40 tackles, 2 sacks and 9 quarterback hits.

The 2-year deal allows Ford to become a free agent again when he's only 27.
