Summary
The Seahawks made a savvy move by locking down edge rusher Derick Hall with a three-year, $42M extension starting in 2026 — a steal compared to Boye Mafe’s $60M deal to Cincinnati. While ESPN’s Seth Walder gave them a B- and suggested trading Hall to bring back Mafe for less, Seattle’s GM John Schneider prioritized fit and system over market value. Hall’s run-stopping prowess aligns perfectly with Mike Macdonald’s defense, and trading him would’ve left the pass rush vulnerable — proving Hall’s extension was the smarter, more strategic play.
