Curry joins Seahawks by signing multiyear deal

Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice Aaron Curry ran onto the practice field to applause Saturday after signing a multiyear contract with the team.

Terms were not immediately available, 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.

Curry, the fourth overall choice in the 2009 NFL draft, had missed the first eight days of camp.

The Seahawks saved a spot for Curry in their starting lineup. They expect him to line up with Leroy Hill and three-time Pro Bowl choice Lofa Tatupu when the regular season opens.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I can't believe the type of guranteed money that these rookies are getting, no wonder vets feel like they are getting screwed.
