Seahawks, RT Abraham Lucas agree to three-year extension

This will be a three-year pact, Garafolo adds. The deal has a base value of $46M and can increase with incentives. Lucas was set to enter the season as a pending free agent, but he is now on the books through 2028.

The former third-rounder served as a full-time starter over 16 games during his rookie season. Lucas has been a mainstay at the right tackle spot when healthy since then, but injuries have proven to be an issue in his case. Across the 2023 and ’24 campaigns, Lucas played just 13 games. Seattle has nevertheless made a notable investment in him.

2025 has seen Zach Tom (Packers) and Luke Goedeke (Buccaneers) ink big-ticket extension at the RT spot. This Lucas accord checks in south of those deals with an average annual value of $15.33M. It checks in at 13th amongst right tackles in terms of annual compensation.

Lucas graded out as PFF’s No. 39 offensive tackle as a rookie. The 26-year-old did not qualify for a grade the following year, and his evaluation regressed in 2024 compared to the ’22 campaign. The Seahawks are clearly confident a clean bill of health along with continued development will be seen in Lucas’ case, though. Today’s move ensures he and Charles Cross will handle tackle duties beyond 2025.

Cross’ fifth-year option was picked up this spring, meaning he is in place for another two seasons. Seattle has an organizational policy of not working out extensions with more than one year remaining on a player’s deal. As a result, no Cross extension will be worked out until next offseason at the earliest. It would come as no surprise if a long-term investment were to be made in that case, especially given the Seahawks’ willingness to take that route with Lucas.

Offensive line play was an issue last year, and the Seahawks noted upgrading the unit was an offseason priority. Seattle invested a first-round pick in Grey Zabel, and he will handle left guard duties right away. It was recently announced Jalen Sundell will operate as the team’s center, meanwhile, with Anthony Bradford at right guard. The play of that group will be worth watching, along with Lucas’ performance and health knowing his stint in the Emerald City will continue well beyond the coming campaign.
