Running back Rashaad Penny has now signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks opting to stay in Seattle. The deal is reportedly worth $5.75 million with the chance to earn up to $6.5 million.
Penny told the media on Monday that he had other suitors willing to offer him more money but he chose the familiarity of the Emerald City instead.
“I really wanted to be back here,” Penny said during his press conference. “I felt like this was really home, and I felt the bond and chemistry of where we can go, the direction this team can go. We’ve still got a lot of great pieces. I just want to win, and I feel like that’s the same thing the coaches and staff and everybody in the building wants to do.”
