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.
