0:00On March 10th, the Seattle Seahawks locked in one key defender from their Super Bowl hopes by resigning cornerback Josh Job to a three-year deal, worth $24 million. But they couldn't hold on to everyone as safety Kobe Bryant is heading to the Chicago Bears on a three-year contract valued at $40 million.
