Big news here in Seattle for the Seahawks and their fans and for sure Doug Baldwin. Today the news came out that Baldwin has signed a big huge contract extension with the team worth $46 million for four years.

It will keep Doug under contract through the 2020 season. The new contract includes $24.25 million in guarantees, averages $11.5 million a year which is a big time raise from the three year, $13 million contract he signed in 2014. So with the new huge contract will Doug Baldwin still have the nickname “Angry” Doug Baldwin? Well we will see.

Truth be told I never called him that and most people of color did not call him that too. Just the “majority” media. This happens when brothas like Doug and teammate Richard Sherman and others speak out in terms the “majority” ain’t used too. They call Doug and Richard at times “angry” and I cannot leave out Stephen A. Smith too. Folks they are NOT angry!! They are very intelligent black men. Who speak what is on their mind.

Baldwin tied for the NFL lead in receiving touchdowns with 14 last season. Jermaine Kearse of the Seahawks was the teams highest paid wideout when he signed a new deal in March. But not anymore.

Baldwin’s new deal says that $7.75 million becomes fully guaranteed in February 2017 and the other $4.5 million becomes fully guaranteed in February 2018. Baldwin, 27 had been entering the final year of his current contract. He joined the team as a undrafted free agent in 2011 and he has had a chip on his shoulder because he was not drafted.

So congrates from “Sports Inner City TV” to Doug Baldwin on his new fat contract. By the way we hope to hook up with Baldwin later in July when we travel to Renton, Washington and the Vmac for Seattle Seahawks mini-camp. More details in the coming month right here on “Sports Inner City Online” and “Sports Inner City TV” and “Sports Inner City Radio”
