What happened: ESPN reports that cornerback Devon Witherspoon and the Seattle Seahawks 'do not yet appear to be close to an agreement' on a new contract. Per the report, there is no cause for alarm yet, as time remains on Seattle's side to get a deal done.

Why it matters: Witherspoon is one of Seattle's defensive cornerstones, and locking him up long-term is a priority for the franchise heading into the 2026 season. The Seahawks had already moved to secure his future earlier this offseason, having exercised the CB's fifth-year option in March, which gives both sides runway to negotiate without urgency.

What to watch: Watch for any movement in negotiations as the offseason progresses and whether talks heat up before the 2026 season approaches.
