# What is Leonard Williams' new contract with the Seahawks?

Leonard Williams signed a **3-year, $90 million extension** with the Seahawks on August 27, 2026. That's a $30 million average per year — making him one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the league. The deal includes **$56 million guaranteed** and locks him up through his mid-30s as a cornerstone of Seattle's defense (from the Leonard Williams page).

That $30M AAV puts him 5th among all DTs, trailing Jalen Carter ($38M), but ahead of guys like Quinnen Williams and Chris Jones. Pretty good payday for the guy who was ranked #1 among DTs in ESPN's survey of NFL execs and scouts.
