SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks have their initial contract agreement with a rookie draft choice: seventh-round pick Courtney Greene.

Agent Todd France confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Monday night that his client agreed to a four-year contract.

Greene is a safety out of Rutgers. He was an All-Big East Conference selection last season.

He was one of Seattle's three picks in the seventh and final round of April's draft.

Seattle's six other draft choices, including No. 4 overall choice Aaron Curry, have yet to agree to deals. That is common seven weeks before training camp begins.

The rookies have been participating in Seattle's organized training activities.

Greene was particularly vibrant last week running through Army obstacle courses in a team outing at Fort Lewis, Wash.
