On Friday, the Seahawks re-engaged with their balanced offense philosophy by re-signing broker Chris Carson, who was originally reported to have a three-year, $ 24.625 million deal with voidable years.
The mechanics of the deal are a little friendlier to the team.
Since being drafted in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft outside of Oklahoma State, Carson has been almost a cult hero among the Seahawks ’Twitter, which is a sort of legend, and the Twitter fantasy football. Of course, 1,000 back-to-back seasons could also have something to do with this, which Carson posted in both 2018 and 2019. During this 2019 campaign, Carson ran 1,230 yards with 278 yards and also grabbed 37 passes for 266 yards. and a couple of touchdowns.
There are some concerns with Carson in the future. First there is the history of injuries. Carson’s 2019 season was cut short with a hip fracture, and he also lost time this past year with a sprained foot. Then there are the unfortunate ones. This goes back to his time with Oklahoma State, where he was settled for losing the ball, and continues into his NFL days. In 2019, Carson scattered seven times, including four losses, and was also inconsistent on the mesh point with quarterback Russell Wilson, prompting some cuts that were charged to the quarterback.
These two factors will be at stake in any negotiation this offseason. But the opportunity to re-add a runner with a couple of 1,000-yard seasons will be an intrigue for most previous offices, and there will be no front office other than Seattle.
