Strong safety Jermaine Phillips is heading to Seattle today after leaving San Diego contract-less. Phillips has ties to defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and GM Tim Ruskell, who drafted Phillips.
It's speculated Phillips will replace Brian Russell, move to strong safety and Deon Grant will move back to free safety. Russell is set to make $2.1 million this year and Grant will make $2 million on a back-loaded contract where his earnings will rise to $4, $6 and $7 million the next three years.
