Seahawks Sign Breakout Linebacker Drake Thomas to Two-Year Deal

Following a breakout 2025 season where he started 14 games, linebacker Drake Thomas has signed a two-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks worth up to $9 million. Thomas, an undrafted success story, recorded 96 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception in 2025. While he faces challenges with tackling consistency and zone coverage, his relentless motor and blitzing ability have made him a vital, versatile piece of Mike Macdonald's defensive scheme for the Super Bowl champions.
