The Seattle Seahawks just locked up linebacker Drake Thomas with a 2-year $8 million contract. This comes after his breakout performance last season on the league's top defense. According to reports, the deal rewards his hard work and keeps him in Seattle long term. Thomas started his pro career as an undrafted rookie. He signed with the Raiders in 2023, but got waived. The Seahawks claimed him off-wavors and used him mainly on special teams during his first couple of years. Last season, he earned a starting spot in linebacker and delivered big numbers. That included 47 solo tackles, 8 passes defense, 6 quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery. It was a huge step up for the young player. Some officials loved what they saw and moved fast to secure him. He was set to hit restricted free agency next week, but now he signed through 2027.
