NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported on Wednesday that second-round selection Bud Clark has agreed to the standard four-year rookie deal. The only thing of significance to note is his contract is fully guaranteed over the first two seasons. If you recall last year’s Nick Emmanwori deal, the Seahawks were one of a handful of teams to give their second-round pick a fully guaranteed contract. Previously the world of fully guaranteed rookie contracts were the domain of the first-rounders, but now we’ve started to see this creep into the second round. Almost 70 percent of Clark’s contract is guaranteed, which is about 10 percentage points higher than what Philadelphia Eagles safety Andrew Makuba received as the corresponding No. 64 pick in last year’s draft. The former TCU safety was one of four defensive backs the Seahawks took in the draft. Clark amazed with 15 interceptions in college, and his ball-hawking skills figure to be an ideal match for Seattle’s defense, which did . First-round pick Jadarian Price is Seattle’s only draft pick not under contract, but there’s no reason to fret in May.
