This came after Nwosu’s original $45 million deal had a mid-February trigger date on a $6 million guarantee for 2025. General manager John Schneider said at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis late last month that Nwosu had agreed to push back that trigger date while the team negotiated a new contract with the linebacker’s representatives.

The Seahawks and Uchenna Nwosu have agreed to a reworked contract that will lower his 2025 salary cap number and keep the linebacker in Seattle for at least another season.
