Who is Jerramy Stevens, the husband Hope Solo talks about in UNTOLD?

Hope Solo is one of the most recognizable names in women’s soccer history, a veteran of the U.S. national team and member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Born in the city of Richland, Solo had a turbulent childhood and wanted to get away from home when her athletic talents caught the attention of the country’s top college women’s soccer teams. She represented the national team 202 times and was a key member of the USWNT team that won the 2015 World Cup.

Her career, particularly with the national team, is the focus of an episode of Netflix’s new documentary series UNTOLD, titled ‘Hope Solo vs. American Football‘. The episode also deals with her relationship with her husband Jerramy Stevens, a former NFL player.

Which teams did Jerramy Stevens play for?

After a successful college football career, in which he won the Rose Bowl with Washington in 2001, Stevens was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 28th overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft.

He played 12 games in his rookie season with the Seahawks, making 21 receptions and scoring three touchdowns. He was a key player for Seattle in their 2005 season, which saw the team reach Super Bowl XL. Stevens caught three passes for 25 yards against the Steelers, including Seattle’s first ever touchdown in the Super Bowlbut the team lost 21-10.

In 2007, Stevens signed for the Tampa Bay Book Hunters and spent four years with the team before retiring at the end of the 2010 season. He was fired by the Buccaneers in October 2010, two days after an arrest for marijuana possession. It was just the latest in Stevens’ long history of trouble with law enforcement.

Jerramy Stevens’ NFL Career Earnings

A first-round pick by the Seahawks in the 2002 NFL Draft, Stevens received a substantial deal for the time. Shortly after the pick was confirmed, ESPN reported that Stevens had a five-year contract worth approximately $6.2 million.

However, his deal also included a provision that allowed the team to recoup a significant portion of his signing bonus — reportedly $2.3 million — if he faced disciplinary problems. Stevens told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer at the time that he was happy to agree to the terms.

I think it helps both of us because we know exactly where we stand.he said. “That always makes it easier, when everyone knows where they stand.”

Stevens likely violated these terms because he repeatedly got into trouble with referees, the league and police during his time in Seattle.

He was then picked up by the Bucs in free agency on a deal that included no signing bonus and no guaranteed salary. The site CelebrityNetWorth estimates that Stevens was worth about $600,000 in each of his first two seasons in Tampa Bayjumping to $1.9 million during his final year with the team. In total, that costs his total career earnings were approximately $9.5 million.
