Cornerback · Seattle Seahawks

Devon Witherspoon

No. 21 · 4th season

Witherspoon is about to get paid, and Seattle is making sure it's by them

Some players make a team rethink what they can spend. Devon Witherspoon appears to be one of them.

Witherspoon came into the league as a cornerback with something to prove, and he proved it fast. Seattle knew what they had — the kind of player who changes how an opponent plans its week.

Now, by all reports, the two sides are close to an agreement worth more than $30 million a year. That number puts him in the conversation with the best at his position in the league.

For Witherspoon, this is the moment a young career gets a foundation under it. For Seattle, it's a decision to build around someone rather than wait and see. Both sides are saying yes at the same time.

The contract isn't signed yet. But when it is, the price tag will say what everyone already suspects.
