Seahawks Sign Second-Round Pick Bud Clark

The Seahawks signed safety Bud Clark on Wednesday, meaning seven of eight 2026 picks are now under contract.

With this signing we only have our first pick left unsigned. Only a matter of time.

Getting there. I love the slotting system for rookies. Just pay them based on where they were picked and pay them scale, with some negotiating room about guarantees and shit. I hope the NIL shit in college doesn't throw wrenches into the mix. The NCAA really needs to clean up that system and try to limit the times kids can change schools. It's gone completely nuts.

No doubt. A kid should have to at least play 2 full seasons at the same school, imo.

I read somewhere that what was holding up the Bud C. signing was he wanted all $ guaranteed.
Wonder if he got it?

Seems pretty unlikely.

I read somewhere his contract was fully guaranteed. Only partially gtd.

Here it is:

I’m not so sure about these additional rounder guarantees. It’s creating quite a stir in some cases.

Counterpoint - I’d give Emmanwori a guarantee on top of a guarantee on top of a guarantee…

The NIL stuff is nuts. I see, at least, both sides. It’s one of those things though where the regulatory aspect should’ve been defined well in advance…it’s trickled down to the HS level.

Reminds me of Artificial Intelligence …
