Seattle football team, the Seahawks, and player Abe Lucas finalize a $46 million contract extension deal.
The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season with a renewed sense of purpose, following a 10-7 finish in the 2024 season that saw them miss out on the playoffs. One of the key factors in their hopes for a stronger finish next season is the health of their offense, particularly their wide receivers and offensive lineman.
Jake Bobo, a Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, managed to avoid serious injury after a collision with Packers cornerback Tyler Hall in their final preseason game. This means the Seahawks' offense will have a healthy batch of wide receivers for the upcoming season.
Another significant boost for the Seahawks' offense will come from the return of Abe Lucas at right tackle. Drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Lucas started all 16 games as a rookie but has played in only 13 games over the past two seasons due to injuries. The Seahawks have secured Lucas' services for the 2025 season and beyond with a three-year extension worth $46 million.
The extension for Lucas includes incentives that could potentially increase his earnings, keeping him motivated to perform at his best. By avoiding seeing Lucas test the free agency waters, the Seahawks have ensured that their starting right tackle will be available for their Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, where Sam Darnold is set to make his Seahawks debut.
Darnold, who was acquired in the offseason, will be making his NFL debut in the 2025 season with the Seahawks. His first game will be against the 49ers, a challenging opener that will provide an immediate test of his abilities.
The Seahawks' aim for a stronger finish in the 2025 NFL season is clear, and with a healthy offense and a new quarterback, they are well-positioned to make a run at the playoffs. The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Seahawks fans.
