Seahawks Sign First‑Round RB Jadarian Price, Complete 2026 Draft Class

Price's rookie-scale four-year deal positions him to start during Charbonnet's rehab, keeping open the possibility of veteran additions.

Overview

  • The Seahawks agreed to terms with Jadarian Price on Friday and the team expects a standard first-round, four-year rookie contract that projects around $16.7 million fully guaranteed with an roughly $8.6 million signing bonus.
  • Price's signing completes Seattle's 2026 draft class and puts the No. 32 pick under contract ahead of mandatory minicamp and offseason work.
  • With Kenneth Walker III gone in free agency and Zach Charbonnet recovering from a torn ACL, Price is widely expected to assume an early lead role in Seattle's run game while the team evaluates backup options.
  • Scouts praise Price's vision, agility and kick-return experience from Notre Dame, but note limits in his college receiving volume and that pass protection and short-yardage reliability will determine how quickly he handles heavy NFL snaps.
  • Analysts project Price as an early candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year if he adapts quickly, though Seattle could add a veteran runner this summer to reduce risk and protect the defending champions' ground game.
