The Seattle Seahawks have given new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn a three-year contract worth $5.7 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.


• Network: NFL Nation
The deal will pay Quinn approximately $1.9 million per season, slightly less than the $2 million annual salary that Ray Horton will make as the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator.

The Seahawks hired Quinn on Thursday to replace Gus Bradley, who was named the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach earlier in the day.

Quinn was the Seahawks' defensive line coach from 2009-10 before leaving to become the defensive coordinator at Florida.

Quinn's defenses ranked among the top 10 nationally in his two seasons at Florida. In 2012, the Gators were fifth nationally in scoring (15.4 ppg), second in pass efficiency defense and fourth in rush defense (94.9 ypg). Florida gave up only seven passing touchdowns, which was second only to Boise State (four).

Hated losing him but good for him... Classy gator

[TheGator]

Well can't blame him for leaving. I would love to make 4 times my present salary.

[The_Graygator]

They'd have to pay me like that to work for a jerkwad like 'ole Pete.

This reinforces that he didn't leave lightly.

No, this means he left happily

[malscott]

wowser...good for him. Seems both sides benefited, while it would be nice if he were still here. It appears that dude from SCe is da man too. I guess time will tell...

I would have been sad if he didn't leave for significantly more money

Ugh, it might just be the last game tainting perception but I can't help but think the lower # of passing TDs is related to the QBs we played against as well as the awesomeness of our pass defense (don't get me wrong our safety play was top notch- near 2008 quality, our CB was good but not the best I've seen us play)- I mean Bridgewater did whatever the heck he wanted to do.

We played the Heisman winner. :/

In his first game as a college player ever, despite what our QBs may lead you to believe, QBs generally get better throughout the course of a season.

Lame. It didn't stop him from torching us in the first half.

Hmmm good move for Quinn I'd say

[Gatorrick22]

We all new he had to be getting a nice pay raise for him to go to Seattle.

[gatordee]

Big raise!! Good for him.

[twodaparty]

I think they both needed each others experience.
