Summary

Seahawks Sign Derick Hall

The Seattle Seahawks signed edge rusher Derick Hall to a three-year contract on Tuesday.
The deal is worth $42 million, includes $21 million guaranteed, can rise to $46.5 million, and keeps Hall through 2029.
In 2025 he recorded 41 pressures (16.7% rate) and 2 sacks while playing 46% of defensive snaps.
He was drafted 37th overall in 2023 after his mother Stacy Gooden-Crandle revived him at birth.

Summary

Hall Extends

Hall signed a long-term extension that gives Seattle a rare edge-rusher anchor.
The Seahawks signed the deal after losing Boye Mafe to a three-year, $60 million Cincinnati contract.
Hall’s $14 million average salary ranks 33rd among edge rushers, placing him in the league’s middle-tier pay.
The extension frees cap space for DeMarcus Lawrence’s retirement decision, Uchenna Nwosu’s contract year, and for making Jaxon Smith-Njigba the highest-paid receiver while pursuing Devon Witherspoon.

History

Historical Context

When the NFL introduced its first salary cap in 1994 at $33.8 million, teams like the San Diego Chargers were forced to cut or trade ten starters, illustrating the new financial pressure. Seattle Seahawks, now extending Derick Hall, echo that cap-driven roster management, balancing veteran contracts with emerging talent under the same league-wide constraints.
