NFL: Seahawks sign top pick Aaron Curry


Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed first-round draft choice Aaron Curry eight days into training camp.

The No. 4 pick from Wake Forest ran onto the field Saturday afternoon a few minutes into practice. The fans in attendance cheered wildly as Seattle's new outside linebacker nodded in their direction.

Terms of the multiyear contract were not immediately known, but Curry was expected to get around $30 million in guarantees.

Last year's No. 4 overall pick, running back Darren McFadden, got $26 million guaranteed from Oakland.
