Seahawks focus on extending contract for Devon Witherspoon this summer

The Seattle Seahawks are prioritizing a contract extension for cornerback Devon Witherspoon, considered their most crucial signing this offseason. Known for his Pro Bowl-level performance, Witherspoon allowed only two touchdowns in the previous season and made the second-team All-Pro list. Seattle management has yet to reach an agreement, though Witherspoon has two years remaining on his current contract and the franchise has $25.5 million in cap space available. Negotiations are expected to continue ahead of the upcoming season, especially after the team signed Derick Hall to a multi-year deal recently.
