ESPN: Devon Witherspoon, Seahawks ‘do not yet appear to be close to an agreement’

- ▪The Seahawks recently completed a contract extension for receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
- ▪Devon Witherspoon's extension negotiations have not progressed as smoothly as expected.
- ▪Witherspoon is represented by the same agency as Christian Gonzalez, who is also seeking an extension.
