ESPN’s Brady Henderson reports the Seahawks have pushed back OLB Uchenna Nwosu‘s injury guarantee for 2025.
Henderson says the guarantee was supposed to vest into a full guarantee on Friday but the date was pushed back. This gives Seattle more time to work out a deal to keep Nwosu instead of cutting him while avoiding the guarantee in the meantime.
Nwosu, 28, is a former second-round pick by the Chargers in the 2018 NFL Draft out of USC. He finished the final year of his four-year, $5.75 million rookie contract when the Seahawks signed him a two-year, $20 million deal.
From there, Seattle re-signed him to a three-year, $59 million extension last offseason.
In 2024, Nwosu appeared in six games for the Seahawks and recorded 14 total tackles, one sack and one pass defended.
