The deal includes a no-trade clause, too, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Seidenberg is entering the final year of a four-year, $13 million contract that carries an annual average value of $3.25 million, according to CapGeek.com. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer.
The extension gives Seidenberg the second-highest cap hit on the Bruins defense behind team captain Zdeno Chara ($6.9 million annual salary).
Seidenberg was acquired by the Bruins in March of 2010 from the Florida Panthers along with defenseman Matt Bartkowski in exchange for Byron Bitz, Craig Weller and a second-round draft pick that became Alexander Petrovic.
In 582 regular season games, Seidenberg has registered 188 points (34 goals and 154 assists), while averaging 20:56 of ice time per game and accumulating 242 career penalty minutes.
