Witherspoon agreed to a four-year, $31.86 million rookie contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon held out of training camp for two days and was the last of the 259 players taken in the 2023 NFL Draft to sign his rookie deal. Rookie contracts are collectively bargained based on draft position, but Witherspoon and the Seahawks were at odds over how much of the signing bonus he would get up front. The deal includes a signing bonus of $20.17 million, but there haven't been any initial reports on how that bonus is being paid out. With the holdout behind him, the 2023 first-round pick is set to return to practice with the Seahawks.

Witherspoon wasn't present at training camp Thursday as he continues to negotiate his rookie contract, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon -- the No. 5 pick in this year's draft -- is the only 2023 draft pick that hasn't signed his rookie contract. The money is already collectively bargained, but Witherspoon is angling to get all or most of his $21.17 million signing bonus paid immediately. Head coach Pete Carroll doesn't believe that Witherspoon will be out for long. Hopefully that's the case, as the 22-year-old cornerback is missing crucial practice reps as he looks to solidify himself as the team's top cornerback.
