RB Tyrell Sutton Signs A Future Contract with Seattle

[The Q]

The Seattle Seahawks have signed Tyrell Sutton to a futures contract.

Sutton who is 25 years old played at Northwestern and then was signed by the Packers as an un-drafted free agent.

The Packers released Sutton on the final cut down roster trimming day.

It's believed the Packers were going to put him on the practice squad as they went into the season with both Starks and Grant and Kuhn on the roster already.

Before they could do that the Carolina Panthers signed him. They cut him about 7 or 8 weeks later.

He's 5 feet 8, and 211.

Leon Washington is the only returning running back under contract for the 2012 season.

Sutton is the 10^th player the Seahawks have signed to a future contract.

He joins...

• WR Charly Martin
• DT Adrian Taylor
• DE Pierre Allen
• LB Allen Bradford
• DB Coye Francies
• DB Jesse Hoffman
• DE John Graves
• TE John Nalbone
• G Brent Osborne

Glad we got Sutton. He is a hard runner with burst speed. He fits the system well. Let's see what happens with Forsett, Lynch and Leon
