Seahawks Extend Witherspoon Amid Cap Strategy | Seattle Seahawks News

Seahawks GM John Schneider is reportedly nearing a big contract extension for star cornerback Devon Witherspoon, who’s leveraging his position alongside fellow corner Christian Gonzalez—both sharing agents. The team sacrificed key players like Kenneth Walker and Boye Mafe to free up cap space for these extensions, showing strategic foresight. While Jaxon Smith-Njigba already locked in a major deal, the spotlight now turns to other defensive stars. Free agency looms for Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu, and Zach Charbonnet, but their futures hinge on performance and health. Center Jalen Sundell remains under team control, easing urgency. But three players could be top priorities: tight end AJ Barner (outperforming expectations), linebacker Ernest Jones IV (All-Pro caliber), and QB Sam Darnold (a leader with winning potential despite early struggles).
