Seattle announced the move less than 24 hours before the deadline for teams to use the franchise tag and Lynch would have been owed more than $7 million for one season if Seattle used the tag on him.
A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Lynch's contract is worth $31 million, including $18 million guaranteed. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because terms of the deal were not officially announced.

18 million guaranteed is probably less than Foster would settle for, but I think it might be closer to what the Texans have in mind for him while Arian probably has
Chris Johnson money ( 30 million guaranteed) in mind, which is too much IMO.
