The deal will pay Baldwin $46 million over the next four years, an average of $11.5 million per season, with $24 million guaranteed, according to NFL Media. That’s a significant pay increase for Baldwin, who was entering the final season of a three-year, $13 million deal and was due to make $4 million in 2016.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said earlier this month he wanted to get Baldwin “secured for a good while.” 

Baldwin, who was undrafted out of Stanford in 2011, is coming off a season in which he caught a career-best 78 passes for 1,069 yards and an NFL-high 14 touchdowns. When Baldwin was targeted last year, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had the NFL’s highest passer rating. 

Baldwin, 27, has caught 274 passes for 3,826 yards and 29 touchdowns over his five-year career.
