Seahawks Face Decisions on Fifth-Year Options for Stars

The Seattle Seahawks are evaluating the fifth-year options for Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. While exercising these options is considered a priority given their Pro Bowl production, the team faces a cash flow conundrum due to funding rules that require fully guaranteed salaries to be placed in escrow. To manage these obligations and meet CBA spending requirements, the Seahawks may look to sign both players to contract extensions this offseason.
