camp on July 15 for the rookies
only. Nine of the Seahawks eleven
rookies have signed contracts.
Safety Nick Emmanwori and tight
end Elijah Arroyo have not. Both
were second round picks. The
salaries are grafted in for rookies
depending where they were drafted.
They sign four year contracts as
well. They can differ depending
on the signing bonus too.
The reason these two haven't signed
yet is that back in May the Houston
Texans first guaranteed all four years
to their second round pick and the
Cleveland Browns followed shortly
there after. I didn't realize this hadn't
happen before. So many of the NFL
teams second rounders haven't
signed
Both have been in the camps during
the off-season the question will they
both come in now. The Seahawks
will they sign them to four guarantee
years or not. It depends on whether
they and their agents stick to their
guns or not and same for the Seahawks.
Another avenue would be to guarantee
some of the years and add a good
signing bonus. The Seahawks can
do a insurance policy in case they
don't work out or have a career ending
injury. We will see.
Emmanwori may not start at safety
though the Seahawks may play three
safeties much of the time. Teams
often go with a nickel back on passing
downs. Witherspoon is in the nickel
back spot though he starts however
he moved around a lot. Either of them
can be like a linebacker too. Most
likely work this way with both in
the game.
Arroyo is listed as the third tight end.
This could change if the Seahawks
trade Noah Fant. Important for him
to come to camp on time as the
Seahawks have a new offensive
scheme. On running downs the
Seahawks will employ two tight
ends though they have added a
full back as well. Most likely see
both on short downs.
The veterans will be reporting next
Tuesday. Center could be the most
competitive position on the offense.
Who gets the job may decide to who
starts at right guard as well. Left
guard along with left tackle and
right tackle are pretty much set.
Most experts think Seahawks
number one pick this year Grey
Zabel though to set to start at
left guard his long time position
might be center so we will see.
That is it for today. Go Hawks!
