Abraham Lucas signed a three-year extension with Seattle at about 45 million, roughly 15 million per season, anchoring the right tackle spot with durability risk the main caveat. The move shores up the line ahead of Week 1, offering fantasy owners a clearer, steadier protection scenario in Seattle's run- and pass-game plans.

The Seahawks face a wall of extensions looming, headlined by Riq Woolen who could push into the high-20s or low-30s per year given the cornerback market’s rise. Gardner’s 30.1M/year ceiling and Stingley/Horn benchmarks shape Woolen’s potential price. Seattle must decide whether to push now or risk waiting until the trade deadline, which could force a reverberating shift if Woolen hits free agency or trades yield greater value.

Waiting risks Woolen walking or price inflation, so the window to secure a long-term deal is tight. If a deal stalls, selling high via a trade becomes plausible, trading a premier defender for premium assets. Lucas’s extension is the first domino; Woolen’s outcome will largely dictate Seattle’s defensive ceiling and cap trajectory for years.

Seattle's Abe Lucas extension cements a lean, homegrown offensive line as the Seahawks remain the NFL's cheapest offense in 2025. The move signals faith in a young group and a plan to keep costs down while the unit develops.

With rookies still on inexpensive deals and only one extension plus a fifth-year option on the books, Seattle hopes the line finally starts paying dividends. A healthier, cohesive O-line could lift the run game and protect the passer, keeping fantasy ceilings intact as the offense evolves.

Seattle’s preseason showcase suggested a fortified run game for 2025, as the Seahawks rolled 268 rushing yards on a rainy Week 2 night, with 120 yards coming across two drives and 77 before contact. The starting five of Josh Jones, Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, Anthony Bradford and Abraham Lucas paved the way even without Charles Cross and Olu Oluwatimi, while yielding only one pressure in that stretch.

Five Seattle players logged 30+ rushing yards, signaling a deep and productive ground attack, paired with a clean 17-of-21 passing for 209 yards and two Jake Bobo scores. Bradford stood out, delivering six positive grades on 13 run blocks and remaining unscathed in 6 pass-blocking snaps, putting him on pace for elite overall grading pending final review.

The Chiefs rested several starters but still fielded a seasoned defense, and rookie Josh Simmons kept clean in pass protection. PFF’s postgame review and the early data snapshot point to Seattle’s offensive line and run scheme carrying momentum into the regular season, with Bobo expanding the aerial threat and Bradford anchoring the interior protection.
