Grade Seattle Seahawks sign LS Chris Stoll
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Seahawks re-sign their reliable long snapper in a straightforward continuity move. Multiple outlets highlight Stoll's consistency and unsung importance to Seattle's special teams. Retaining an established long snapper eliminates uncertainty at a critical position. Fans appreciate stability at a position often overlooked until problems emerge. Stoll should continue providing steady snapping for Seattle's foreseeable future.
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Seattle Seahawks — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Chris's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL UNKs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.5M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the UNK market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Chris is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $2.9M deal ($1.2M guaranteed, 41%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
