2 years agoSeattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is retiring from football due to a serious neck injury that he suffered last year, according to sources. The Seahawks will officially release him with a failed-physical designation. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it allows Carson to receive several million in injury protection benefits. Carson only played in five seasons with Seattle, but he had back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2018 and 2019 and was in the RB1 conversation when healthy. The 27-year-old will finish his career in the NFL with 3,502 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on 769 carries, while adding 107 receptions for 804 yards and another seven TDs. Rashaad Penny, if healthy, will lead Seattle's backfield in 2022, with rookie Kenneth Walker III serving in a change-of-pace role.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
