How much do the Seahawks already value Nick Emmanwori, months before he plays his first NFL game for them? They have broken their own precedent, and made league history, to get their rookie safety draft choice into training camp on time for its first practice next week.

From a financial standpoint, the guaranteed deal certainly sets a new precedent for the draft slot, and it could influence unsigned second-round picks who were selected around Emmanwori. Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Texans wideout Jayden Higgins, the two second-round picks selected ahead of the safety, have already signed their deals.
