Overview
- The deal includes about $75 million in guarantees and is the largest contract in franchise history for a non-quarterback, according to multiple reports.
- The extension keeps Cross under contract through the 2030 season after Seattle exercised his 2026 fifth-year option.
- The new-money average is reported at $26.1 million per year, placing him among the NFL’s highest-paid left tackles, with $40.5 million due in Year 1.
- Cross missed the final three regular-season games with a hamstring injury, and coach Mike Macdonald expects him to return for the divisional round.
- Seattle clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, and the team now has both tackle spots secured after extending right tackle Abe Lucas earlier.
