The Facts: According to CBSSports.com's Jeff Kerr, the Seahawks should seriously consider tagging Penny after his finish to the season in 2021, showcasing how dominant Penny can be when healthy. Paying Penny $9,570,000 and trying to work out a short-term deal is certainly worth the tag, especially when the Seahawks have $36,443,530 in available cap space.
Diehards Line:
Penny finished his 2021 season with 119 carries for 749 yards and six touchdowns -- leading the NFL with 6.3 yards per carry. In the final five games, Penny had 92 carries for 671 yards and six touchdowns -- an incredible 7.3 yards per carry. Seattle's offense averaged 31.2 points per game and went 3-3 in Penny's six starts, giving Russell Wilson immense help in the backfield down the stretch. With Chris Carson and his injury history, the Seahawks need Penny's explosiveness to take the pressure off Wilson.
