Seahawks cornerback from same 2023 draft class as Christian Gonzalez; his contract extension negotiations are further along than Gonzalez's. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport indicated he would not be surprised if Gonzalez's deal materializes shortly after a potential Witherspoon resolution, suggesting Witherspoon's contract could serve as a market-setting precedent for elite young cornerbacks.

Seahawks cornerback and potential free agent participated in minicamp but his contract extension status is uncertain heading into training camp. The cornerback market top was set by Trent McDuffie at $31 million per season; Witherspoon has been eyeing above that number for an extension, but the Seahawks have not been close to that figure. The sides will continue to talk, with training camp serving as a pressure point that could help close the gap. Under Pete Carroll, the Seahawks had been lenient with allowing hold-ins for unsigned players.

Witherspoon ranks fourth in the 2026 cornerback rankings at age 25, jumping from No. 10 last year after breaking a logjam from spots 4-7 with a series of top-three votes late in the process. The 5-foot-10 corner is the fourth player in Seahawks history to be named a Pro Bowler in each of his first three seasons and can make game-changing plays wherever he lines up. An NFL coordinator praised him as 'Outstanding in the slot, can play on the perimeter, violent, physical and impacts games [in ways] that don't show up in [the] stat sheet,' and noted he's 'so twitched up as an athlete.' In the Super Bowl, Witherspoon generated a career-high four pressures on six pass rushes with one sack and a forced pick-six to Uchenna Nwosu, while allowing two receptions for 16 yards on 47 coverage snaps. Nearly 60% of his regular-season coverage snaps came in zone; he still lined up as outside corner on 399 of 691 regular-season snaps.
