The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are bringing back starting linebacker Drake Thomas, who agreed to a two-year contract with a base of $8 million and incentives for another $1 million, NFL Network reported on Thursday.
A pending restricted free agent with the start of the new league year on March 11, Thomas, 26, became a first-year starter in his third season with Seattle. He was in the starting lineup for 14 of 17 regular-season games and all three playoff games.
Thomas totaled 96 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, one interception, one fumble recovery and eight passes defensed in the regular season. He added 18 tackles in the postseason.
He played on 68% of the defensive snaps (763) and 33% on special teams (150).
Undrafted out of North Carolina State, Thomas was signed by the Las Vegas Raiders in May 2023 and released on Aug. 29, then signed the next by the Seahawks.
