SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and linebacker Derick Hall are working toward a three-year contract extension, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract hasn\u2019t been finalized.<\/p>\n
The contract carries a $42 million base, and Hall could earn as much as $46.9 million in a deal that could keep him in Seattle through the 2029 season. The 37th overall pick of the 2023 draft is entering the final year of his rookie deal.<\/p>\n
Hall, 25, had a key strip-sack in the team\u2019s 29-13 victory against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. He had two sacks in the Super Bowl after getting two in the regular season. The 6-foot-3, 254-pound Hall had a career-high eight sacks in the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
Hall\u2019s extension comes on the heels of Seattle adding to its pass rush. In May, the Seahawks signed veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million.<\/p>\n
Hall returning for the next few seasons and the addition of Fowler, helps to offset the loss of edge rusher Boye Mafe, who signed a three-year, $60 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency.<\/p>\n
Hall also became the second member of his draft class to agree to a new contract with the Seahawks this offseason.<\/p>\n
All-Pro wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba agreed to a four-year, $168.8 million contract extension, with $120 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Cornerback Devon Witherspoon, the No. 5 overall pick from the 2023 draft, has not signed an extension with the Seahawks. Seattle picked up his option for the 2027 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and linebacker Derick Hall are working toward a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":908229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[14163,9084,14161,2865,7,2869,6,27878,27876,95285,238,237,261,121674,2635],"class_list":["post-908228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-seattle-seahawks","tag-boye-mafe","tag-dante-fowler-jr","tag-derick-hall","tag-devon-witherspoon","tag-football","tag-jaxon-smith-njigba","tag-nfl","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-40820-ap-washington-state-sports-only","tag-seahawks","tag-seattle","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-seattle-seahawks-derick-hall","tag-seattleseahawks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116682188638295486","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/908228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=908228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/908228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/908229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=908228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=908228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=908228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
