Well, it might not be Myles Garrett, but the Seahawks have got a bit of business done this week…

It’s great news for the Seahawks for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the numbers look extremely team-friendly. If Derick Hall takes a big step forward in 2026, they’ll have him under solid club-control and won’t be forced into paying a huge salary. Secondly, it speaks to Hall’s commitment to the team and his willingness to simply get this done rather than have a long protracted negotiation or gamble on himself. There won’t be any future drama or second-guessing and he’s now established as a key figure within Seattle’s defense.

For me, Hall is the heir-apparent to DeMarcus Lawrence. He is the player who can take on that spot long-term.

It follows Abe Lucas making a similar move a year ago. There is a strong inner-bond between the players on the team and they clearly want to be in Seattle.

Now they can focus their attention on getting an extension done with Devon Witherspoon — a situation that will almost certainly be resolved sooner rather than later.
