Seahawks rookie Derick Hall signs historic contract for second-round pick

Seattle Seahawks rookie Derick Hall made history on Tuesday as he signed his contract with the team. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Hall will receive 85% of his signing bonus before the Seahawks’ training camp and is guaranteed $100,000 in his fourth year, both firsts for a second-round pick.

Hall’s full contract is worth a grand total of $9.116 million over four seasons with $7.22 million of that being guaranteed. His signing bonus is worth $3.63 million. The news of the historic contract comes as the NFL Players Association has been pushing for guarantees for second-round picks.

Seattle drafted Hall 37th overall out of Auburn in April. He was named first team All-SEC this past season at defensive end, but is expected to play outside linebacker with the Seahawks.

Across his four years with the Tigers, Hall recorded 146 tackles (29.5 for loss), 19.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and an interception. That includes a combined 15.5 sacks and four forced fumbles over his final two seasons. Three of his sacks in 2021 came against No. 1 overall pick and former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.

With the signing of Hall, the Seahawks now have only two more rookie deals to work out: first-round cornerback Devon Witherspoon and second-round running back Zach Charbonnet.
