SEATTLE -- The Seahawks and outside linebacker Derick Hall agreed Tuesday to a three-year, $42 million extension that includes $21 million guaranteed, agents Chad Berger and Ezra J. Thompson told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal could be worth up to $46.5 million, Hall's agents said.
Hall, who was entering the last year of the rookie contract he signed as a second-round pick in 2023, is now tied to Seattle through the 2029 season.
The Seahawks made Jaxon Smith-Njigba the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver with the largest deal in franchise history in March, and they've been trying to extend Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon. In the meantime, they lock up another key piece of the NFL's top-ranked scoring defense from 2025 and a standout from their Super Bowl LX victory.
Hall had two sacks in the Super Bowl LX win over the New England Patriots, including one that forced a fumble that was recovered by Seattle. That matched his regular-season sack total over 14 games, though Hall was much more impactful than that number would suggest while playing with the rugged style that coach Mike Macdonald wants in his edge defenders.
Hall recorded 30 tackles and 13 quarterback hits, and his strong edge setting helped Seattle finish with the NFL's fewest yards per carry allowed (3.7). He missed two games with an oblique injury and was suspended for one game after the NFL deemed that he unnecessarily stepped on an opponent's leg during a December game against the Los Angeles Rams.
He averaged 30 snaps per game as part of a four-man rotation at outside linebacker, along with Uchenna Nwosu, DeMarcus Lawrence and Boye Mafe. Nwosu is entering his age-30 season, Lawrence recently turned 34 and Mafe got a three-year, $60 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency -- all of which gave Seattle incentive to lock up Hall now.
Drafted 37th overall out of Auburn, Hall broke out with eight sacks in 2024 after an unspectacular rookie season.
