"By giving Lucas a new deal, the Seahawks are making a bet on the health of his surgically repaired knee and a rare reinvestment in one of the key pieces of their offensive line. Lucas, 26, flashed dominance as a rookie in 2022 after the Seahawks drafted him in the third round. But he's been limited to 13 games over the past two seasons"
"because of a knee injury that required surgery in January of 2024 and, as he described it, "a long and painful process" to return to the field. In a clear sign that his knee has turned a corner, Lucas didn't miss a single practice in training camp, nor did he sit out any of the spring practices that were open to reporters."
The Seahawks signed right tackle Abraham Lucas to a three-year, $46 million extension. The contract pays Lucas $15.33 million annually, placing him 13th among NFL right tackles in average salary. Lucas, 26, was a third-round pick in 2022 who showed rookie dominance but missed significant time due to a knee injury that required surgery in January 2024. Lucas fully participated in spring and training-camp practices, signaling recovery. He is only the second offensive lineman drafted under general manager John Schneider to receive a rookie extension. Several members of the 2022 draft class are now extension-eligible.
