Seahawks extend Derick Hall's contract, eye more sacks in 2026
Summary

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.
