## Resource

BREAKING: The Seattle Seahawks have extended edge rusher Derick Hall on a 3-year deal worth $42 million, with a max value of $46.5 million and $21 million guaranteed. In this episode, I react to the deal, what it says about John Schneider’s roster-building plan, and why this may be Seattle’s answer to the expensive post-June 1 pass-rush trade market. At $14 million per year in base value, with up to $15.5 million annually, this is not elite edge-rusher money. It’s an early bet on an ascending young player before the price potentially gets much higher. The question is whether the Seahawks just bought low on a future breakout… or paid a projection price before Derick Hall has fully proven it. We’ll break down the contract, the timing, what it means for Mike Macdonald’s defense, and whether this changes Seattle’s need to keep shopping for another pass rusher.
