LB's pay slashed after off-field issues

SEATTLE — Linebacker Leroy Hill is taking a major pay cut to stay with the Seahawks.

Hill, facing a one-game suspension for off-the-field issues, will make $2.125 million in base salary in 2010, according to the NFL Players Association website. Hill was to make $6 million this season as part of a six-year deal signed in April 2009.

The remaining years on his deal were wiped out, making him a free agent after this season.

Hill will miss the opener against the 49ers via suspension. His issues include a marijuana possession charge in Georgia and a domestic violence charge in the Seattle area.
