Could Devon Witherspoon’s Seahawks Extension Redefine NFL Contracts?
At the top of that list is Devon Witherspoon.
If JSN is now locked in as a core offensive weapon, Witherspoon represents the same kind of cornerstone on the defensive side. The question isn’t just if Seattle will extend him—it’s when, and at what cost? Cornerback markets have continued to rise, and Spoon’s trajectory suggests he could command top-tier money sooner rather than later. Does Seattle get ahead of that? Or let it play out?
Using the contract the Rams gave Trent McDuffie, as well as how the Seahawks structured the JSN deal, this is what Curtis came up with as a rough draft for a Witherspoon extension.
“I don’t know if they’ll go four years with with Witherspoon,” Allen said, “whether he’ll want to go four years or not, but it’s the same. It’s a very similar structuring. And if you look again at 2026, it’s not a big hit on the cap this year. As a top five pick, he already has a pretty good salary for his fourth year. So, I think his cap hit is 10 million right now. So, just a couple smillion dollars more on the cap.
