The Seattle Seahawks and center Justin Britt are closing in on a contract extension that would keep the anchor of their offensive line in place beyond the 2017 season.

Coach Pete Carroll had said Thursday that they were "really close" on finalising a deal for Britt, whose rookie contract had been due to expire after this season and confirmation of the deal soon followed via the team's twitter account.

Britt has helped stabilise Seattle's often changing line. Having started his career at right tackle, he then moved to left guard and last year settled at center, where he flourished.

The 26-year-old, a second round Draft pick from Missouri in 2014, started 15 regular-season games and was the one constant in an otherwise troublesome season for Seattle's line.
