RENTON, Wash. \u2014 The Seattle Seahawks have finalized a four-year contract extension with left tackle Charles Cross. <\/p>\n
The contract runs through the 2030 season and includes $75 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. Cross, 25, was already under contract through 2026 because the Seahawks exercised his fifth-year option earlier in the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means a lot to me,\u201d Cross said Wednesday. \u201cThis team, this organization, I wouldn\u2019t want to be anywhere else. This place is definitely special, and I believe that and everyone in this building.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Seahawks selected Cross in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft with a pick they acquired when they traded Russell Wilson. Cross has started 62 games, including 14 this season for the Seahawks, who are the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel great just being in Seattle, being around my teammates, the organization here,\u201d Cross said.<\/p>\n
Cross missed the last three games of the regular season with a hamstring injury, which he said happened during Jason Myers\u2019 game-winning field goal against Indianapolis on Dec. 14. Cross practiced Wednesday and is expected to be back for the playoffs.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks received a first-round bye and will host the lowest remaining seed on the weekend of Jan. 17-18, giving Cross plenty of time to get back to full strength.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like it\u2019ll help me a lot,\u201d Cross said, \u201cjust being able to recover and get the reps, get more reps in and refine what I\u2019ve been working on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RENTON, Wash. \u2014 The Seattle Seahawks have finalized a four-year contract extension with left tackle Charles Cross.
