Rashaad Penny Signs Rookie Deal
7 years agoSeattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the 27th overall pick in the draft, signed a four-year contract with a fifth-year option on Thursday. His contract will be valued at $10,903,622, including a signing bonus of $6,000,306. Penny is expected to compete with Chris Carson for lead-back duties immediately, and Seattle's coaching staff is high on Penny and sees him as a legitimate three-down back. The Seahawks could also use Penny to return kicks. Penny has considerable upside for fantasy because he could see a heavy workload right away, but don't overspend, as he will need to refine his pass-blocking skills if he's to be on the field all the time.
