Seahawks, CB Devon Witherspoon Agree to 4-Year, $132 Million Deal, AP Source Says
The extension includes more than $101 million guaranteed and resets the cornerback market for the second time in five months.
- On Saturday, the Seattle Seahawks extended cornerback Devon Witherspoon to a four-year, $132 million deal featuring over $101 million guaranteed, making him the NFL's highest-paid cornerback at $33 million average annual salary.
- Coach Mike Macdonald praised Witherspoon as a "force multiplier" and "an elite competitor" following three consecutive Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl LX championship with 72 tackles and four quarterback hits in 2025.
- Witherspoon's $33 million average surpasses Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward's $31.1 million and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie's $31 million, while his 249 career tackles and 4.5 sacks include a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown as a rookie.
- The extension immediately impacts New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who shares Witherspoon's agent; Gonzalez's camp reportedly targets a contract exceeding these figures by a wide margin.
- Signed through 2031, Witherspoon joins wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle's highest-paid players at their positions, securing two franchise cornerstones for the Seahawks' championship window.
