The Facts:
Strong, whose lead blocks have cleared the way for 1,000-yard tailbacks in all but two of his 13 seasons with the Seahawks, reached agreement on Friday to return to the team on a new contract, ESPN.com has learned. Strong will sign a three-year, $3.16 million contract. The deal includes a signing bonus of $500,000 and base salaries of $860,000 (for 2006), $870,000 (2007) and $930,000 (2008).

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The new contract likely means that Strong, who originally signed with Seattle as an undrafted college free agent in 1993 will spend his entire career playing in a Seahawks uniform. Three different tailbacks -- Chris Warren, Ricky Watters and Alexander -- have each posted three or more 1,000-yard seasons running behind Strong's blocking.
