Ryan tweeted Friday that he's remaining in Seattle on a four-year deal.
"Found out this morning that I will have the honor of playing in front of the greatest fans in the world for 4 more years," Ryan wrote on Twitter.
The 34-year-old has been with Seattle since 2008. He became the Seahawks' longest-tenured player earlier this week when defensive tackle Brandon Mebane left in free agency after nine seasons in Seattle, ESPN 710 writes.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports the deal is worth $10 million and includes a $2.5 million signing bonus. The $2.5 million average over four years represents a raise of $1 million from what Ryan made per year on his last deal.
