The Seattle Seahawks have signed EDGE Derick Hall to a three-year, $42 million contract extension, keeping him with the team through 2029. Hall, who recorded only two sacks in 2025 after a career-high 8.0 sacks in 2024, is expected to take on a larger role next season, especially after the departure of fellow defensive end Boye Mafe. With increased playing time anticipated, Hall aims to bounce back and approach double-digit sacks in the upcoming season. The Seahawks' coaching staff remains optimistic about Hall's potential following the contract extension.
- •Hall's extension is worth $42 million over three years.
- •He recorded just two sacks in 2025 but had eight in 2024.
- •Hall played 420 snaps, 37.43% of the defensive plays last season.
- •Boye Mafe's departure may increase Hall's snap count in 2026.
- •Coach Mike Macdonald may rotate edge rushers, but Hall should see more action.
