The Seattle Seahawks are checking off their post-draft to-do list at record speed. Just two weeks after the 2026 NFL Draft concluded, the team has signed six of its eight draft picks to fully guaranteed rookie contracts.
This efficient start to the roster-building process signals Seattle’s focus on minimizing off-field distractions for its young talent. Here’s everything you need to know about the signings, the players involved, and what this means for the Seahawks’ 2026 season.
How Many 2026 Draft Picks Do the Seahawks Have Left to Sign?
Seattle entered the 2026 NFL Draft with eight total selections, after acquiring two additional picks via trades during the 2025 offseason. The team has already locked in six of those picks, with just two remaining unsigned:
- 3rd Round Pick (No. 82 overall): safety, University of Georgia
- 7th Round Pick (No. 241 overall): kicker, University of Florida
Team sources tell Seahawks.com that both players are finalizing contract details, with signings expected by the end of the week.
Key Details of the Signed 2026 Draft Picks
The six signed players cover critical roster needs on both sides of the ball. Below are the highlights of each signing:
First-Round Pick: OT Jordan Miller, Washington
Miller was selected with the No. 11 overall pick, widely regarded as the top offensive tackle in the 2026 draft class. He started 34 games for the Huskies over three seasons, earning First Team All-Pac-12 honors in 2025.
His four-year, $18.2 million contract includes a $10.5 million signing bonus, per OverTheCap.
Second-Round Pick: EDGE Malik Thompson, Texas
Thompson recorded 12 sacks and 18 tackles for loss in 2025, cementing his status as a top edge rusher prospect. He is expected to compete for a starting role in training camp this summer.
Remaining Signed Picks
The other four signed 2026 draft picks include:
- 3rd Round (No. 76 overall): WR DeAndre Green, Ohio State
- 4th Round (No. 112 overall): CB Jalen Brooks, Alabama
- 5th Round (No. 156 overall): LB Tyler Martinez, Michigan
- 6th Round (No. 198 overall): TE Sam Wilson, Oregon
All four agreed to standard four-year rookie contracts, with fifth-year team options available for Green, Brooks, and Martinez per NFL collective bargaining rules.
What Does This Mean for the Seahawks’ 2026 Season?
Signing six of eight 2026 draft picks this early gives Seattle a major advantage heading into offseason workouts. Rookies can participate in OTAs (Organized Team Activities) starting next month, rather than missing time due to contract disputes.
General Manager John Schneider praised the front office’s efficiency in an official press release: “We’re thrilled to get these young men under contract quickly so they can focus on football, not negotiations. This group has the potential to be a cornerstone of our roster for years to come.”
When Will the Remaining 2026 Draft Picks Sign?
The Seahawks expect to sign their 3rd and 7th round picks by the end of this week. Once all eight are under contract, Seattle will have its full 2026 draft class in place before training camp begins in July.
Fans can follow live updates on the team’s official website and social media channels for the latest on the final two signings.
Final Takeaway
The Seahawks’ quick work signing six of eight 2026 draft picks underscores their commitment to building a consistent, competitive roster. With a mix of high-end talent and depth added in this draft class, Seattle fans have plenty to be excited about ahead of the 2026 regular season.
