Rapoport, who reported the details on Twitter, said it’s a 3-year-deal. Adam Schefter of ESPN also Tweeted details of the deal, citing an unnamed source.

Schefter said that Kearse was readsy to move on -- before Seattle came in with the three-year deal.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says the deal is worth $13.5 million.

Last week, both reported Kearse was looking forward to a new home. Kearse, who was a standout at Lakes High School in Lakewood and played for the University of Washington, signed with the Seahawks in 2012 as an undrafted free agent.

Kearse told Schefter in January that he wouldn't stay is Seattle for a hometown discount.

"I love my hometown, but I've put in too much hard work to give a discount," he said at the time. "My number one priority is to take care of my family's future, so I will consider all opportunities."
