Seahawks Sign Rookie Rasheem Green

Seahawks third-round pick Rasheem Green has signed his rookie contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). With the defensive end in the fold, the Seahawks now have all nine members of their rookie class under contract. 

Green, a USC product, started all 14 games at defensive tackle last year and led the team with 12.5 tackles for loss and ten sacks. At the pro level, he profiles as a defensive end behind starters Dion Jordan and Frank Clark.

Here’s the full rundown of the Seahawks’ draft class:

Draft pick signings are largely a formality under the current collective bargaining agreement, but third round negotiations sometimes take a bit longer due to flexibility in base salary. Still, contracts for third round picks are coming along faster than first round picks this year. There are now four unsigned third-round picks remaining, versus 14 unsigned first-round selections.
