Renton, WA (SportsNetwork.com) – Less than four months after playing a key role in the Seattle Seahawks’ first-ever Super Bowl title, Doug Baldwin was rewarded for his contributions.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks signed the valued wide receiver to a new three-year contract on Thursday, with NFL.com reporting the deal to worth a total of $13 million.<\/p>\n
Seattle had previously offered Baldwin, a restricted free agent who led the club with 51 receptions this past season, a one-year tender for $2.187 million, but he had yet to sign in hopes of working out a longer-term agreement.<\/p>\n
Signed by the Seahawks as a college free agent in 2011, Baldwin has emerged into one of the team’s most consistent pass-catchers despite his undrafted status. The Stanford product recorded 51 receptions for 788 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie and posted nearly identical numbers in his third NFL campaign, hauling in 50 passes for 778 yards and five scores in 2013.<\/p>\n
Baldwin added 13 receptions for 202 yards during Seattle’s recent postseason run, which included a six-catch, 106-yard effort in the 2013 NFC Championship Game and a touchdown grab in the Seahawks’ rout of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XL.<\/p>\n
“Doug has been a tremendous player,” said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. “When you go back and look at the last few years, and look at the significant plays that have happened, he’s been a part in a lot of big stuff. He continues to always be at the front of making everything happen.”<\/p>\n
This past year, Baldwin also became the first undrafted rookie to lead his team in both catches and receiving yards in a season since Bill Groman of the AFL’s Houston Oilers in 1960.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
