RENTON Doug Baldwin continues to do more than just talk his articulate talk.
The Seahawks’ No.-1 wide receiver and one of the NFL’s leading advocates for criminal-justice reform announced Wednesday the team’s players fund he helped start in late September to support social causes has raised almost $1 million. He said the money has come from teammates, team owner Paul Allen’s and coach Pete Carroll’s foundation, general manager John Schneider and his wife and citizens around the Northwest.
Baldwin also announced the first seven social-activism causes receiving grants of $15,000 to $25,000 each from the Seahawks’ players fund.
