The Seattle Seahawks are on the cusp of having their entire 2026 draft class under contract after second-round pick Bud Clark agreed to a standard four-year rookie deal on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
Clark’s deal is fully guaranteed over the first two seasons and is almost 70 percent guaranteed overall, a level that runs about 10 percentage points higher than the corresponding No. 64 pick’s contract last year, when the Philadelphia Eagles selected Andrew Makuba.
The signing leaves Jadarian Price as Seattle’s only unsigned draft pick. For a team that took Clark as one of four defensive backs in the draft, the move helps firm up a secondary that already lost Coby Bryant in free agency, when he left the Seahawks’ starting safety role for the Chicago Bears.
Clark arrived with a college résumé that made him one of the more intriguing defenders in Seattle’s class. The former TCU safety had 15 interceptions in college, and that production helped make him a second-round selection even as fully guaranteed rookie deals remained, until recently, mostly the domain of first-round picks.
The broader picture for Seattle is simple: the class is nearly done, the contracts are secure, and the only remaining question is how quickly the team gets Price under the same umbrella. That matters because the Seahawks can enter the next phase of roster building with the bulk of their 2026 draft investment already locked in.
For readers tracking the team’s broader offseason, the Seahawks also remain part of a busy NFL calendar that has pushed other clubs into the spotlight as well, including prime-time scheduling news tied to the Patriots, Bills and Cowboys.
