And then there were none. On Friday morning, the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> finally signed their final pick from the 2025 NFL draft: tight end Elijah Arroyo. This of course comes a day after the team agreed to terms with their other second round pick, safety Nick Emmanwori, who received a historic fully-guaranteed<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

When it was announced Emmanwori would be receiving a fully-guaranteed deal, many assumed Arroyo would be receiving one as well. While his won’t be, the former Miami Hurricane weapon will be getting dang near close to one.<\/p>\n

Despite both players being second round picks, this is a stark reminder of how much money players stand to make as rookies depending on where they are selected. At No. 35 overall, Emmanwori will be making all $11+ million of his standard rookie contract, per Spotrac<\/a>. Arroyo, picked 15 spots later, will be earning just over half as much as his fellow second round teammate.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks’ training camp officially opens on Wednesday July 23rd, but rookies have already reported to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Now that Arroyo is officially signed, he can now join his teammates on the practice field to begin preparations for the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
