Seahawks Lock Up Star Tackle Cross
5 Jan
Summary
- Charles Cross signed a four-year, $104.4 million extension.
- The deal includes $75 million in guaranteed money.
- Cross is expected back for the Divisional Round playoffs.
The Seattle Seahawks have made a significant long-term commitment to their offensive line by extending tackle Charles Cross. The new four-year deal is worth $104.4 million, with $75 million of that amount fully guaranteed, solidifying Cross as a cornerstone player for the foreseeable future. This contract also sets a new benchmark, with his $26.1 million annual average being the largest for a non-quarterback in franchise history.
Since being drafted ninth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Cross has proven to be an indispensable asset. He has started 62 out of a possible 68 games, quickly establishing himself as a reliable presence on the offensive front. His consistent performance has been vital to the team's success and continuity.
While Cross missed the Seahawks' Week 18 victory over the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, his return is anticipated for the Divisional Round of the playoffs. This extension, announced shortly after the team secured the NFC's top seed, underscores the Seahawks' confidence in Cross's ability to contribute to their championship aspirations.
