Duane Brown's future a year ago at training camp was filled with uncertainty during a holdout. Ever since his trade to Seattle in the middle of last season Bobby Hebert Jersey , he's been "at peace" with whatever was going to take place.
"Last year at this time I was very anxious and uncertain," Brown said Sunday, a day after signing a three-year contract extension with the Seahawks. "This whole year I've been at peace. I wasn't worried about anything when I showed up for workouts or OTAs. I wasn't worried about what was going on behind the scenes and just controlling what I could control."
The extension means the big left tackle will likely be protecting Russell Wilson's blindside for the rest of Brown's career. He'll turn 33 next month and has spoken repeatedly of wanting Seattle to be the final stop of his career.
Brown's current deal was set to expire after this season, part of the reason he was a holdout from the Houston Texans until Week 8 of last season before being traded to Seattle. Brown said it became clear soon after arriving in Seattle the intensions were to make sure this was his last stop. Those indications were part of why Brown was committed to being part of Seattle's offseason program.
"They communicated that early on and there was no doubt in any of our minds that we would get it done Reshad Jones Jersey ," Brown said. "I wanted to show my commitment to the team and our future by being here. Coming here halfway through the season you want to be here during the offseason, for me, to learn the team more, to have my impact in the locker room Mike Hull Jersey , my leadership skills and it was great to do that."
Brown was the first to get an extension among a number of key contributors whose contracts expire after the 2018 season. That group includes linebacker K.J. Wright, defensive end Frank Clark and, most notably, holdout safety Earl Thomas. There have been no signs of a softening between Thomas and the Seahawks as the former All-Pro has sought either a new deal in Seattle or a trade from the Seahawks.
NOTES: Seattle signed WR Marvin Bracy on Sunday. Bracy represented the United States in the 100 meters at the 2016 Rio Olympics and is a three-time U.S. indoor champion in the 60 meters. Bracy returned to football last year signing with Indianapolis during training camp but was released before the season.
The Dodgers have sent prized pitching prospect Walker Buehler back to the minors.
The 23-year-old right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday Reuben Foster Jersey , hours after allowing two runs on a pair of solo homers and six hits in a no-decision against the Angels. He struck out five and walked one in five innings of his 10th start.
Manager Dave Roberts said Buehler would likely throw a simulated game next week in Oklahoma City.
Buehler is 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA with the Dodgers this season. He’s limited the opposition to a .228 average while striking out 59 and walking 13 in 11 games.
The Dodgers are closely monitoring Buehler’s workload, although they have not announced a limit for him.
He tossed just five innings in 2016 after Tommy John surgery. Last year, he pitched 98 innings. He’s worked 73 1-3 innings so far this season.
Buehler has racked up travel miles this season, having been optioned to Oklahoma City twice previously and to Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. He’s also been on the disabled list with a microfracture to his rib.
The Dodgers activated left-hander Zac Rosscup Derrick Nnadi Jersey , who was claimed off waivers from the Colorado Rockies earlier in the week.
