The Seattle Seahawks have $35,718,385 in available cap space, which ranks as the sixth-most in the National Football League. That leaves them in a position to attack the next wave of veteran free agency, although they may be content with their current roster.
In this article, we will examine the top 10 highest-paid players on the Seahawks roster. Instead of ranking them by the total value of their contracts, we will evaluate them based on their cap hits for 2025.
Seattle Seahawks Top 10 Highest-Paid Players
10) Julian Love – FS | $6.11 million
Free safety Julian Love began his career with the New York Giants before making his way to the Emerald City. The 2023 Pro Bowler signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension in 2024, which included a $10.5 million signing bonus and $13.16 million guaranteed.
9) Charles Cross – LT | $6.80 million
Seattle drafted left tackle Charles Cross ninth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $21.38 million contract that included a $12,731,728 signing bonus and $21,383,626 guaranteed. Seattle exercised his fifth-year option in April, keeping him under contract through the 2026 season.
8) Jason Myers – K | $6.82 million
Kicker Jason Myers signed a four-year, $21.1 million contract extension with the Seahawks in January 2023. He remains one of the highest-paid kickers in the league, despite a dip in accuracy over the past two seasons.
7) DeMarcus Lawrence – DE | $7.68 million
After a long, illustrious career with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence signed a three-year, $32.5 million contract with the Seahawks this offseason. He only played seven games in 2024, recording nine tackles and zero sacks.
6) Devon Witherspoon – CB | $8.68 million
The Seahawks selected cornerback Devon Witherspoon fifth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $31.86 million contract that included a $20.17 million signing bonus. He’s expected to break the bank on his next contract.
5) Cooper Kupp – WR | $9.35 million
After eight seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, wide receiver Cooper Kupp signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Seahawks this offseason. He hopes to fill the void left by the departing DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the wide receiver room.
4) Uchenna Nwosu – LB | $11.84 million
Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu reworked his contract this offseason, reducing his 2025 cap number from $21.17 million to a more manageable $11.84 million. His 2025 Week 1 status is up in the air after offseason knee surgery.
3) Sam Darnold – QB | $13.4 million
After a breakout 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings, Sam Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. He received a $32 million signing bonus and $52.5 million guaranteed.
2) Noah Fant – TE | $13.41 million
After moving from Denver to Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade, tight end Noah Fant signed a two-year, $21 million contract extension with the Seahawks last offseason. He’s been mentioned as a potential trade/cut candidate, but it’s hard to imagine another team taking on that contract.
1) Leonard Williams – DE | $15.041 million
After a midseason trade to Seattle in 2023, defensive end Leonard Williams signed a three-year, $64.5 million contract last offseason to remain with the Seahawks. He rewarded them with 64 tackles, 11 sacks, and his first Pro Bowl appearance since 2016.
