He's got a great head on his shoulders and spends a lot of time working with kids and being a role model in his former community. Since I've been monitoring him in camp, I noticed he was one of the first three players out to practice all three times I attended.
Glad he is being rewarded for his efforts, and very glad he is showing loyalty to the Hawks!

Because it's probably a preemptive strike against another team signing him away. Remember when Chris Harper was signed off the practice Squad onto the 49ers active roster, it was reported that the Seahawks tried to keep him by increasing his salary, which would indicate that the player has a say to weather he wants to stay on the practice squad or sign onto another team's active roster.
I would imagine they forsee a team making a push to sign him to their active roster and the Seahawks are giving him a raise so he'll stay on the practice squad.
I'm pretty sure Harper was claimed off waivers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That means that in less than two weeks, he will effectively make more then the average YEARLY salary. He probably laughs when he hears the word recession.

However, Harper, at least for now, won’t get the chance to develop in San Francisco. Harper, whom Seattle cut as a rookie despite being a fourth-round pick, was cut Thursday by the 49ers...Harper could end up on the 49ers practice squad if he is not claimed on waivers by Friday.

The 49ers signed receiver Chris Harper off Seattle's practice squad, announcing Monday that he had joined the team with a three-year contract.
