Seahawks sign seventh-round draft pick Courtney Greene
Safety from Rutgers is the team's first draft pick to sign contract.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The Seahawks agreed to terms with safety Courtney Greene, one of the team's three seventh-round picks in April's draft.
Greene is the first of Seattle's seven draft picks to agree to terms. He was chosen No. 245 overall with the first of three compensatory picks the Seahawks were awarded in the seventh round.
Scout.com first reported news of the agreement on a four-year deal that totals about $1.8 million. Greene still must play his way onto the Seahawks' roster. Seattle returns Deon Grant and Brian Russell — its starting safeties last season — Jordan Babineaux, C.J. Wallace and Jamar Adams.
Greene played four seasons at Rutgers, twice totaling more than 100 tackles. He started 51 consecutive games during his career.
Notes
• DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players Association, spoke to the Seahawks players on Monday in his visit to the Renton headquarters.
• Fullback Tyler Roehl, an undrafted free agent from North Dakota State, suffered a torn ligament in his left knee last month that will prevent him from playing this season.
