Seahawks Sign Edge Rusher To Extension

Derrick Hall is coming on his final season 

on his rookie contract.  As a rookie Hall

didn't play a lot but since has been a

valuable member of the Seahawks 

defense. 

On the depth chart Hall is listed number

two on the strong outside linebscker 

spot more known as edge rusher.

The Seahawks defense is such that he

could be moving to different spots on

the field. These days it is important to

have defense strong as well as fast.

Some teams like the LA Rams are 

playing three tight ends at times.

One of the tight ends may go out

for a pass while the other two are

blocking. On short yardage all three

could be blocking so Hall can be 

valuable to get through the line to 

either sack or make the quarterback 

rush his throw. The Seahawks will

show different formations to keep

the opponent off guard.

Hall signed a three year extension 

that will go through 2029.  The 

contract is for $42 million with 

incentives up to $46.9 million. 

Also $21million is guaranteed.

A contract like that he will play a 

lot especially if he is meeting 

expectations.  Go Hawks!
