The Seahawks’ entire 2024 NFL draft class is under contract.
Seahawks sixth-round tackle Michael Jerrell signed his contract on Friday, and that means all eight players drafted by the Seahawks are now under contract.
Since the adoption of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with a salary scale for rookies in 2011, rookie holdouts are rare and rookies are almost always signed before training camp. But it’s still a relief for the Seahawks to make it official that their entire class is signed and there won’t be any issues.
Jerrell was a little-known prospect out of Division II Findlay, but the Seahawks think he has tremendous talent and potential to become an NFL starter, even if his learning curve is steeper than most. Jerrell was the only Division II player drafted this year.
The Seahawks’ other draft picks are first-round defensive tackle Byron Murphy, third-round guard Christian Haynes, fourth-round linebacker Tyrice Knight, fourth-round tight end AJ Barner, fifth-round cornerback Neheimaih Pritchett, sixth-round guard Sataoa Laumea. and sixth-round cornerback DJ James.
