The Seattle Seahawks and cornerback Devon Witherspoon have agreed to a four-year, $132 million contract extension that includes $101 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid cornerback in league history at $33 million per season. The deal triggers in 2028 after his rookie contract runs through the end of 2027. Witherspoon, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 draft and a three-time Pro Bowler, is now under contract alongside wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba through 2031. For DFS purposes, Seattle just paid to keep one of the league’s most disruptive coverage pieces in place — fade the receivers Witherspoon travels with and target the other side of the field.
