The Seahawks have managed to take care of another extension priority well before training camp. Edge rusher\u00a0Derick Hall<\/a>\u00a0has a new deal in place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reports<\/a> team and player have finalized a three-year extension. The pact has a base value of $42MM and can reach a maximum of $46.5MM. Hall is set to collect $21MM guaranteed. Instead of spending the coming season as a pending free agent, he will now be under team control through 2029.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl champions expectedly saw\u00a0Boye Mafe<\/a>\u00a0depart in free agency this spring. Hall would have been in danger of doing the same one year later, but he will remain in Seattle for the foreseeable future. The Auburn product saw a drop in defensive usage in 2025, although a return to a starting gig may now be in store.<\/p>\n

The No. 37 pick of the 2023 draft was part of the package sent by Denver to Seattle as part of the Russell Wilson<\/a>\u00a0blockbuster in 2022. The Seahawks found a number of key contributors to build around via that swap, and Hall \u2013 taken with that selection \u2013 was one of them. He managed limited production as a rookie while handling backup duties before taking a notable step forward in both playing time and output in 2024.<\/p>\n

That year, Hall notched eight sacks, 29 pressures and a pair of forced fumbles. A long-term run near the top of Seattle\u2019s EDGE depth chart seemed to be in store, but the signing of\u00a0DeMarcus Lawrence<\/a>\u00a0gave the team even more options in the pass rush department. Lawrence wound up working as a full-time starter during his debut Seahawks campaign, with Uchenna Nwosu<\/a>\u00a0also serving as a regular on defense. Hall, like Mafe, was relegated to part-time defensive duties during the regular season (although he posted two sacks and a forced fumble in Super Bowl LX).<\/p>\n

Lawrence and Nwosu are still under contract for Seattle. The team also added\u00a0Dante Fowler<\/a>\u00a0last month on a one-year pact<\/a>. No draft investments were made along the edge, so those three, along with Hall, will be counted on to play key roles on the Seahawks\u2019 vaunted defense. Considering the terms of this commitment, Hall can be expected to handle a notable workload during his age-25 season and beyond.<\/p>\n

With an average annual value of $14MM, this extension is the most lucrative one for Seattle pass rushers as things stand. That figure falls well short of the upper echelon of a market which reached $50MM annually earlier this offseason, though. As the Seahawks aim to repeat as Super Bowl champions, the team will hope to gain value on an extension which could prove to be quite team-friendly over time.<\/p>\n

Seattle already worked out a monster extension with receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a>\u00a0this spring, while another lucrative pact for cornerback\u00a0Devon Witherspoon<\/a>\u00a0looms. There is still plenty of work to be done<\/a> in the latter\u2019s case, but another long-term agreement has nevertheless been reached with a different member of the team\u2019s defense with plenty of time to spare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seahawks have managed to take care of another extension priority well before training camp.
