Seahawks Re-sign Linebacker Drake Thomas

0:00For the NFL, it's March 6, and here's what's going on. The Seattle Seahawks made their first major move of the 2026 NFL offseason by resigning linebacker Drake Thomas to a two-year contract, worth $8 million. And Sennis could push that total up to $9 million. The deal was reported Thursday afternoon by Ian Rappaport. Thomas quickly became a key piece of the team's standout defense after stepping in as a starter in week 3. He thrived in Mike McDonald's scheme, showing explosive speed and relentless energy on every play. Fans and analysts see this as a smart, cost-effective signing. Thomas fit perfectly last season, making big impacts by shooting gaps in the run game and jumping routes in coverage. He trusted his linemates like Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy to disrupt plays of front, which let him clean up in the backfield with hard hits. This keeps the core Seattle's tough defense intact heading into the new year, and it signals the team's focus on building around proven homegrown talent.
