Red Bryant is a good run stuffer, ranking 12th against the run by ProFootballFocus among 4-3 ends, but he only has 2 career sacks over 4 seasons so 35 million over 5 years with 14.5 million guaranteed seems too rich. Earlier this week it sounded like he was going to get a deal similar to Brandon Mebane, who got 25 million over 5 years and 9 million guaranteed last offseason. That seems like a more fair deal. The Seahawks overpaid for a guy whose inability to get after the quarterback had him ranked 48th among 4-3 defensive ends by ProFootballFocus.
