The Seahawks made it clear that they were going to prioritize a long-term deal before Brown before the start of the regular season and they managed to get it done well in advance of the season opener.

Brown, 32, is a former first-round pick of the Texans back in 2008. He was in the final year of his seven-year, $56.2 million contract that includes $22.08 million guaranteed and set to make a base salary of $9.75 million for the 2018 season.

The Texans traded Brown to the Seahawks last year.

In 2017, Brown appeared in 10  games for the Texans and Seahawks after holding out a few weeks and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 27 offensive tackle out of 81 qualifying players.
