Seahawks OT Charles Cross gets $104 million extension after securing No. 1 seed

The Seattle Seahawks clinched the No. 1 seed after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 on Saturday. With the club focusing on the upcoming playoffs, it appears the front office is thinking for the long term, too, as Charles Cross agreed to a new contract extension.

Reports indicate that the 25-year-old left tackle agreed to a four-year, $104 million contract extension, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. It’s a deal that makes Cross the highest-paid non-quarterback in Seahawks history.

“Sources: The Seahawks and star OT Charles Cross have agreed to terms on a 4-year extension worth $104.4M — $26.1M average per year. This is the largest non-QB contract in Seattle history. He gets $40.5M in Year 1 in a deal done by agent Saint Omni of Klutch Sports.”

Cross, who was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, was on the final year of his rookie contract. The Seahawks did have the right to use a fifth-year option, which would have kept him on his rookie deal for the 2026-27 campaign. Instead, the front office decided to reward Charles Cross with a big payday, locking him up for the next four years.

This story is currently developing, and more information will be published soon.
