The Seattle Seahawks have solidified their special teams by ensuring one of the most crucial roles is filled for years to come. Michael Dickson, the team's standout punter, has agreed to a four-year contract extension, securing his place in the Pacific Northwest through the 2029 NFL season.
This new deal, reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, places Dickson at the top of the salary ladder for punters across the league, with a total worth of $16.2 million. This ensures the Seahawks remain competitive when it comes to top-tier punting talent, aligning with recent extensions signed by other punting stalwarts like Logan Cooke of the Jaguars and A.J. Cole of the Raiders.
Since being drafted as a fifth-round pick in 2018, Dickson has been a staple in Seahawks' game plans, appearing in every match and showcasing his consistency and skill. His career average of 42.9 net yards per punt stands as a testament to his effectiveness on the field, a feat that earned him All-Pro honors during his rookie season.
With this extension, Seattle maintains stability in its special teams strategy while underscoring their commitment to keeping high-caliber talent on the roster.
