A strong second half that finally proved what the Seahawks felt he could do all along has earned Rashaad Penny a big contract with the team to stay for the 2022 season.
A source confirmed to The Seattle Times that Seattle has agreed to terms with Penny on a one-year deal worth $5.75 million with incentives that could take it to $6.5 million.
Penny, the team’s first-round pick in 2018 out of San Diego State, had a redemptive 2021 season after battling injuries the previous two years. He finished with 749 yards on 116 carries. His 6.29 yards per carry led the NFL and is the best in team history for a running back and behind only Russell Wilson’s 7.2 in 2014.
