I'm a bit surprised it's for two years. Nick is getting pretty long in the tooth for only special teams. Perhaps he's Brooks' stand in until Brooks recovers from his ACL surgery. Yikes, if that is true.

Nah, he's 33, that's not bad for special teams. And he's VERY good at it.

This is a good re-signing, Bellore is a ST core player and a ST wiz, and a bit odf multi positional player as FB and LB.
Wonder what the numbers were?

Apparently contract is 2yrs $6.6 million with $3.75 million this season.
As per Mike Garofolo.

Another step toward keeping Special Teams excellence in tact.
For Bellore, who will turn 34 later this spring, continuing his career for a 13th season was never in question so long as the Seahawks wanted to bring him back.
"I feel as good as I've ever felt, and I'm ready to play as long as my body and a team will allow me to," he said. "If I felt like things were starting to go, I wouldn't do it, because I don't want to go out there just to go out there. I want to stay at the level I've been playing at the last couple of years, and continue to improve, which I think I can still do. Obviously on paper I'm quite old—and in reality, probably—but it was never a question that I was done." --- Link --- https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-sign-nick-bellore-to-two-year-contract-extension

Do many teams actually have a "real" FB these days?

Wish I knew why freakish skills on STs don't always translate into same skill level at full time positions. This guy is a special teams wrecking ball. If he could do the same as a LB he would be an all pro.
Actually, they kind of do. LBs are common STers on a lot of teams because they are good in traffic and can tackle in space, generally. They usually have a decent size/weight ratio as well, not fast enough to be gunners, of course, but with the size to take down tacklers. May not see many starters on ST, but backups do it a lot.
Nick was very good in his stints as a Linebacker. Some Seahawks players did not know that he played LB before, and were shocked when he filled in and made some great tackles. Funnily enough, Nick led them on, not telling them that he used to play LB. 'Yeah, I'm kind of liking this Linebacker gig."
Good for Bellore. He's definitely key on special teams, and seems to be one of those positive-for-team-culture guys.
$3.3 mil. does kind of seem like a lot of money for a guy that mostly plays special teams given the functional cap situation. I think the vet minimum for 10+ accrued season is around $1.2 million. But I get it.

I miss the days of Mack Strong...awesome Fullback...I don't think Shaun Alexander would have been as good as he was without Mack...IMHO.
Me too! Mack is one of my all-time faves.
