Seahawks Secure Leonard Williams with $90M Extension

The Seattle Seahawks have finalized a three-year, $90 million contract extension with defensive tackle Leonard Williams, which includes $56 million guaranteed. This agreement was reported on Thursday and marks a significant increase from his previous annual salary of $21.5 million.

Williams played a crucial role in the Seahawks' recent Super Bowl victory, and retaining him alongside other star players enhances the team's prospects for future success. The Seahawks have also secured extensions for wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, cornerback Devon Witherspoon, and linebacker Derick Hall, solidifying their roster.

Despite maintaining a strong core, the Seahawks face a tougher schedule in the upcoming season, rated as the fifth-most difficult in the NFL. They will begin their season against the New England Patriots on September 9, 2026, in a rematch of Super Bowl LX.
