After an incredible end to his 2021 season, running back Rashaad Penny is staying with the Seattle Seahawks for another year.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport has the news that the 2018 first-round pick has agreed to a one-year contract even though there were apparently better offers from elsewhere.
After an injury-laden start to 2021 that saw him placed on IR, Penny had a breakout series of games to end last season and finished with a career-high 749 yards rushing on just 119 carries in ten games played. He hadn’t even managed an NFL start until this past November, but he made the most of his playing time once he was healthy again and looked like one of the league’s best rushers.
