The Seattle Seahawks signed running back Justin Forsett to a multi-year deal, the team announced this afternoon.
Forsett, drafted with the first of two seventh round picks (233rd overall) from California in this year's draft, becomes the first draft pick signed by Seattle.
To make room on the roster, the Seahawks released cornerback Donovan Alexander. Alexander originally signed with Seattle as an undrafted rookie free agent on April 27.
