Seahawks Sign Leonard Williams to $90M Extension

The Seattle Seahawks have secured a cornerstone of their defense, signing defensive tackle Leonard Williams to a three-year contract extension worth $90 million. The deal, reported on Thursday, August 27, 2026, includes $56 million in guaranteed money and makes Williams one of the highest-paid interior defensive linemen in the NFL. The extension ties the 32-year-old veteran to Seattle through the 2029 season. Williams, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was entering the final year of a previous three-year, $64.5 million agreement. His new average annual value of $30 million places him tied with Tampa Bay's Vita Vea as the fifth-highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.
