The Seattle Seahawks are negotiating a potential contract extension with cornerback Devon Witherspoon as training camp begins. Witherspoon, a Pro Bowl player and the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is looking to become the highest paid cornerback in the league. A significant roster bonus is set to become guaranteed on Monday, creating urgency for the Seahawks to finalize an extension before then. Completing the deal this weekend could help the team manage cap charges more effectively.
