Cornerback · Seattle Seahawks
Devon Witherspoon
No. 21 · 4th season
The number says plenty: Devon Witherspoon, highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.
Devon Witherspoon just became the most expensive defensive back the NFL has ever paid. The Seattle Seahawks signed him to a four-year extension worth $132 million, with $101 million guaranteed. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and an All-Pro — the kind of player a team builds around, not one it lets walk.
This is the moment a young player's bet on himself gets validated in full. The Seahawks are saying, without qualification, that Witherspoon is not just good — he is foundational. They are paying him like the best in his position, because that is what he has become.
