The only thing harder than winning a Super Bowl is winning two. Building a Super Bowl-caliber roster is challenging, and keeping it together is even more pressing for the Seattle Seahawks. That means signing Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to extensions, which the team is one step closer to doing after choosing to pick up their fifth-year options this week.
The Seahawks entered the offseason with the sixth-most available cap space. As such, they could've opted to run it back with all of their free agents, or they could've even been tempted to spend big bucks to lure more stars to the team.
