SEATTLE -- Tight End Zach Miller restructured his contract with the Seahawks Monday, and took a sizable pay cut to resign with the World Champion Hawks, multiple media outlets reported.

According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, Miller cut his 2014 compensation in half, from $6-million a year to $3-million a year. The reduction in pay and incentives brought his salary cap number down from $7 million to $4 million, Pelissero reported.

Many NFL analysts thought Miller would be a "cap casualty" for the Hawks if he refused to restructure his contract. The restructured deal brings back a player crucial tot he Seahawks run-first offense. Miller played in 14 games and caught 22 passes for the Hawks in 2013, and was on the field for 58 of 60 snaps during the Super Bowl.
