Nwosu signed a deal to remain in Seattle worth three years up to $59 million, including $32 million guaranteed. 

We love to hear when alums do great, and Nwosu is no exception. The 26-year-old had his best season as a pro in 2022 and will look to carry that on this upcoming season. 

Nwosu is a ways away from home, as we miss him in Souther California; nonetheless, we're happy to see him succeed, and we wish him the best in his NFL career. 

Keep doing your thing, Uchenna, and congratulations.
