The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly made John Schneider one of the highest paid general managers in the NFL on Sunday with a five-year contract extension but the loyal 12's might already have another reason to celebrate the extension.

According to SB Nation's Evan Hill, the rumored Green Bay clause did not carry over into Schneider's latest deal. The move signals a two-way street of loyalty between Schneider and the franchise.

In the past, he had been reported to have a clause in his deal that would allow him to head home to Green Bay if the Packers offered him their general manager job. Schneider-- a Wisconsin native -- started his career in Green Bay as a scout from 1993-1996 and later spent an additional eight years with the Packers from 2002-2009 as a personnel analyst and eventually director of football operations.

The clause was of particular importance with current Packers general manager Ted Thompson announcing he'd step away from football soon. It was believed that Schneider could be on the short list to be Thompson's heir apparent.

Without the clause, the Seahawks can feel safe paying Schneider such a hefty sum, which also bodes well for keeping his partner-in-crime, head coach Pete Carroll, in for another half decade.
