Seahawks sign D.K. Metcalf, leaving Cody Barton as last unsigned draft pick

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Wednesday that former Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has signed his contract, making him the tenth of eleven 2019 NFL Draft picks made by the Seahawks to put pen to paper on his standard four-year rookie deal.

Barring the unthinkable “Cody Barton contract holdout” that would’ve been foreseen by absolutely nobody, we’re on the cusp of every Seahawks draft pick officially being under contract. It should be noted that third-round players such as Barton, a former star linebacker at Utah, can be a bit tricky to complete.

As someone in the agent industry has explained to me before, rookie deals for 3rd-rounders can be tricky b/c there's more room for negotiating compared to other rounds.
