RENTON, Wash. (AP) -A person with knowledge of the contract says that the Seattle Seahawks have signed first-round draft choice Aaron Curry to a six-year contract that guarantees him $34 million.
The person tells The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Saturday because the Seahawks have not announced the deal.
It’s richest guarantee for a rookie non-quarterback in NFL history and has a maximum value of $60 million.
The No. 4 pick from Wake Forest ran onto the field Saturday afternoon a few minutes into practice, eight days after training camp began. The fans in attendance cheered wildly as Seattle’s new outside linebacker nodded in their direction.
Only top overall pick Matthew Stafford, the quarterback drafted by Detroit, has received a richer guarantee from this year’s draft. Stafford got $41.7 million guaranteed from the Lions.
$26 million guaranteed from Oakland.
