RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks are currently working with Doug Baldwin's agent on a contract extension, head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday.

"It is a big deal. It is a very serious negotiation, as they all are," Carroll said. "But he's done an incredible job for us and been a great teammate. And hopefully, eventually we'll get something worked out. I hope it happens. The intent is to get him signed and secured for a good while. So we'll see if we can get that done.

"They're meeting on it right now. They're working at it."

Baldwin, 27, is entering the final year of his current deal. He joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and had a monster season in 2015, setting career highs in catches (78) and yards (1,069). Baldwin was tied for the league lead with 14 touchdowns last season.

Recent deals for wide receivers Allen Hurns and Keenan Allen could help shape Baldwin's extension.

Asked earlier this week if he's leaned on any teammates for contract advice, Baldwin said, "There's nothing to figure out. I'm playing football, each day as it comes by. And again, if I focus on the task at hand, all that other stuff will take care of itself. So I don't really have to think about it too much."
