Seahawks Lock in Linebacker Drake Thomas

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 5th update. The Seattle Seahawks have locked in linebacker Drake Thomas with a two-year contract extension, putting an end to a week of trade rumors. Thomas joined the team as an undrafted free agent, picked up off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders during preseason in August of 2023. Now starting linebacker next to Ernest Jones IV, he has become one of the hardest hitters on the defense. This deal marks Thomas' first major payday at around 4 to 4.5 million dollars per year, which is a solid value for the Seahawks. Compared to other NFL contracts, keeping him signals a promising start to the offseason for General Manager John Schneider amid efforts to hold on to key players.
