Chris Carson Net Worth and Career

Upon entering the NFL, Carson signed a four-year, $2.46 million contract with a signing bonus of about $65 thousand. He would finish his rookie season with 208 rushing yards to go along with a receiving touchdown.

Carson followed that up with a 2019 campaign that included 1,230 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns. Then, he scored nine touchdowns in 12 games in his fourth NFL season.

In 2021, the Seahawks re-signed the tailback to a two-year, $10.4 million deal, which includes a $4.5 million signing bonus. However, this would serve as his last season in the NFL.

Carson was forced to hang up the cleats prior to the start of the 2022 season due to a neck injury that he suffered in week four of the 2021 season. Despite never making a Pro Bowl, he finished his career with an impressive rushing average of 4.5 yards per carry.
