Carson
Continued from B1
Carson finished the final season of his
initial four-year deal in 2020 that paid him
$3.73 million. The 26-year-old has suffered
a succession of injuries that forced him to
miss 19 games in four NFL seasons.
Carson made clear from the beginning
of last season that he hoped to strike it rich
in free agency.
“Of course, it’s something that’s on my
mind,” he said before last season. “You see
a lot of guys, they’re starting to get paid,
but I try not to let it distract me from the
season. I try to push it away.”
The Seahawks let Carson test free agency
when they declined to place a franchise tag
on him that would have paid him just over
$8 million in 2021 on a one-year deal, all of
which would go on the salary cap.
Seattle won its gamble there, with Car-
son able to earn up to $6.9 million in 2021.
The Seahawks’ offer apparently was bet-
ter than offers from the Jets, Panthers and
Patriots, who “all got involved” with Car-
son, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Seattle will return its leading rusher to a
group that also includes 2018 first-round
pick Rashaad Penny, recent draftees Travis
Homer and DeeJay Dallas and Alex Col-
lins, who re-signed a one-year deal after
spending most of last season on the prac-
tice squad.
Seattle this week saw last year’s backup,
Carlos Hyde, sign with Jacksonville.
The presence of five running backs un-
der contract who all saw action last year
figures to mean Seattle is done adding to
that position.
But it also makes for an especially in-
teresting competition to see how the spots
fill out.
Re-signing Carson to what is essentially

Gardens, Florida, in October.
a two-year deal also raises questions about
the future of Penny.
Penny was a controversial pick as the
No. 27 overall selection in 2018 and has
struggled to stay healthy, playing in just 27
of a possible 48 games. He missed all but
three last season while recovering from a
knee injury suffered in December 2019.
When Penny was drafted in the first
round, many viewed that as a sign he
would be the team’s running back of the
future, and some figured that meant Car-
son would leave.
But Penny’s injuries and inability to
prove he can be a consistent contributor
undoubtedly added to the urgency for Se-
attle to get something done with Carson.
The Seahawks were 10-2 last season
in games Carson played, and though his
running was a key factor, so was making
37 catches for a career-high 287 yards and
four touchdowns. That aspect of his game
figures to fit in nicely with the offense of
new coordinator Shane Waldron, who
spent the past four years with the Rams.
What Carson will be asked to do most,
though, is give the Seahawks the kind of
punishing, bruising rushing attack that
Carroll likes best.
“We have to run the ball better,’’ Car-
roll said after the season. “Not even better,
we have to run it more. We have to dictate
what’s going on with the people that we’re
playing, and that’s one of the ways to do
that.”
And as they have the past four years,
they’ll again count on Carson leading the
way.
SPORTS BRIEFING
GOLF
Former Ducks star Wise takes lead at Honda Classic —
Aaron Wise is making PGA National look easy. Wise shot his sec-
ond straight 6-under 64 on Friday to take a three-stroke lead into
the weekend at the Honda Classic. The 128 total is the lowest 36-
hole score at PGA National since the tournament moved there 15
years ago — and marks the first 36-hole lead of Wise’s PGA Tour
career. “It’s two great rounds of golf and I love that, and I love that
I’m playing good,” Wise said. “But this place can get to you pretty
quick and there’s a lot of golf left ahead and a lot of trouble out
there.” He had a pair of eagles to highlight the day, his first two of
2021. Brandon Hagy (62) and first-round leader Matt Jones (70)
were tied for second. Wise birdied the last to finish off the 64, the
eighth round of 64 or lower at PGA National this week. Wise made
a 3-footer for a 3 at the par-5 18th, his ninth hole of the day, then
connected on a 45-footer for eagle at the par-5 third. “I’ve made so
many bonus putts from outside 10 feet that I can’t complain,” said
the 24-year-old Wise, the 2016 NCAA champion for Oregon.
