While the Seahawks and their fans watched a handful of members of the roster depart in free agency this spring, the team has worked to fill the void of several of the departures with cost effective signings of veteran players.
The additions so far have included Emanuel Wilson at running back, Noah Igbinoghene at cornerback and Rodney Thomas at safety. Now, thanks to NFL insider Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, the details of Thomas’ contract are now known. #Seahawks Rodney Thomas: one year, $1.

Base salary: $1. 215M Signing bonus: $187,500 While this contract puts Thomas in line to earn $1. 402M during the 2026 season, because the contract qualifies as a veteran salary benefit contract, Thomas’ cap hit will be only $1.
