The talent on this team is amazing and Im glad to be a part of it.Avrils deal came a day after the Seahawks signed linebacker K.J. Wright to a four-year extension worth $27 million. Seattle made it a priority to keep the pair from becoming free agents after the season.Cliff has been instrumental in what weve been building on the defensive side of the ball and we are excited that hell be with us for another four years, Seattle general manager John Schneider said in a statement. He has been relentless in his approach to the game and his passion for winning is contagious.Avril is in his second year with Seattle after signing a two-year deal before the 2013 season. Avril has started all 14 games and has 4 1/2 sacks this season. He had eight sacks last year playing in more of a rotation on Seattles defensive line.Avril said he didnt want to be a free agent again and didnt enjoy the process two years ago that ultimately brought him to Seattle. Avril told his agent not to inform him of a deal until something was close and promising.Avril has already won more games with Seattle (23 regular season, 26 with playoffs) than he did in his five seasons in Detroit (22).I love what coach (Pete) Carroll is doing with the guys here, Avril said. I love the scheme. The guys that we have in the locker room make it so fun to play here. Just being in Seattle and the environment we have going, I just want to keep the party going.While his sack numbers are down this season, Avrils success in pressuring the quarterback has increased. Hes already exceeded last years total in quarterback hits and combined with Michael Bennett to help the Seahawks pass rush improve throughout the season.Weve found the core guys that we really like and were trying to keep them here and keep them together, Carroll said. .We have a chance to be together for a long time and thats a big statement and a big commitment and were really happy to do that.Seattle had a season-high six sacks last week against San Francisco.
