Fans of the Seattle Seahawks were ecstatic Friday evening when reports emerged that the team would be retaining starting running back Chris Carson, who had been exploring his options in free agency for the past several days. His returns makes him the unquestionable favorite to be the 2021 starter at the position, but it makes for a somewhat crowded position group with his return giving the Hawks Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Alex Collins all signed for the upcoming season.
Regardless of how the depth plays out at the position, the specifics of Carson’s contract extension have come out Saturday morning, and it’s a team friendly deal for the Hawks.
