Seattle Seahawks, linebacker Derick Hall working toward a 3-year contract extension
Seahawks wrap up rookie minicamp this weekend
The Seattle Seahawks concluded their rookie minicamp this weekend as Head Coach Mike Macdonald evaluated first-round pick Jadarian Price and the rest of the 2026 draft class.
SEATTLE - 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.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract hasn’t been finalized.
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.
Hall, 25, had a key strip-sack in the team’s 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.
Hall’s 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.
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.
Hall also became the second member of his draft class to agree to a new contract with the Seahawks this offseason.
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.
