Seahawks and Devon Witherspoon reportedly discussing a record-setting extension
The Seattle Seahawks and star cornerback Devon Witherspoon are reportedly in intense negotiations over a long-term extension. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that a deal around $32 million per year could establish a new benchmark at the position, although no agreement has been announced. Seattle exercised Witherspoon's fifth-year option in March, keeping him under team control through the 2027 season. That gives the Seahawks contractual flexibility, but a new deal would reward one of the defense's most important players and could reset the cornerback market. With training camp underway, the negotiations remain an active storyline to monitor.
