When the Seattle Seahawks recently added free agent running back Carlos Hyde, after first flirting with Devonta Freeman, many fans were perplexed. They were confused as to how the team could afford $4M for a running back, but had yet to come to terms with a top tier veteran defensive end such as Jadeveon Clowney, Everson Griffen or Ziggy Ansah.
Now that the team has formally added Hyde to the roster, releasing offensive lineman Demetrius Knox in order to make room, the terms of Hyde’s contract with the Seahawks have become public.
