Report: Seahawks sign Derick Hall to 3-year extension

The Seattle Seahawks and edge rusher Derick Hall have agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday morning.

Do Seahawks need to counter Rams’ blockbuster move?

The deal could be worth up to $46.5 million and includes $21 million guaranteed. Hall is now under contract with Seattle through the 2029 season.

Hall, a 2023 second-round draft pick out of Auburn, had one year remaining on his rookie contract.

After a no-sack rookie campaign, Hall had a second-year breakout in 2024 with 8.0 sacks, six tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. Hall’s production took a step back in 2025, with just 2.0 sacks and three tackles for loss in 14 regular-season games. But he had two sacks in the Super Bowl, including a strip-sack fumble that helped the Seahawks pull away in their 29-13 triumph over the New England Patriots.

Hall also ranked 21st out of 121 edge rushers in Pro Football Focus’ pass rush win rate this past season, which suggests his impact was greater than his traditional stats would suggest. Furthermore, he ranked 31st among edge rushers in PFF run defense grading, using his physical 6-foot-3, 254-pound frame to provide the type of edge-setting presence that’s vital in head coach Mike Macdonald’s defense.

The 25-year-old Hall’s extension gives the Seahawks some much-needed long-term stability in their edge-rushing corps, with their other top three edge rushers carrying various degrees of age and contract questions that make their futures uncertain beyond 2026.

DeMarcus Lawrence has two years left on his contract, but reportedly was considering retirement earlier this offseason and recently turned 34. Uchenna Nwosu, who missed significant time with injuries in 2023 and 2024, has one year left on his contract and turns 30 in December. And recent free agent addition Dante Fowler Jr., who signed a one-year deal with Seattle, turns 32 in August.

Hall’s extension comes after the Seahawks lost edge rusher Boye Mafe in free agency. Mafe, a 2022 second-round pick who spent his first four seasons in Seattle, signed a three-year, $60 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in March.

Hall is the latest Seahawks player to receive a contract extension. Earlier this spring, star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba inked a long-term deal with Seattle that made him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. And within the past year, the Seahawks signed cornerstone offensive tackles Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas to multi-year extensions.

Three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon also is widely expected to receive a long-term deal from Seattle at some point.
