Raiders lock in 4th round RB Mike Washington on 4-year deal
Thursday the Raiders got their fourth round pick RB Mike Washington signed to his four-year rookie contract. These are the numbers.
In the fourth round of last weekend's draft, the Raiders made one of their more aggressive moves of the draft. We had reach midway through the round and the Raiders, noticing top running back prospect Mike Washington was somehow still there, traded up to pick 122 to get him. Thursday, on the eve of Rookie minicamp, they made it official, signing the former Arkansas back to his rookie contract.
The 6-1, 225-pounder was signed to a four-year, $5. 5 million deal with a $1. 13 million signing bonus.
He will carry a cap number of $1. 17 million this season, though that may ultimately fall below the Top 51 threshold and thus not count against the cap figure. This article originally appeared on Raiders Wire: Raiders lock in 4th round RB Mike Washington on 4-year deal
