The Seattle Seahawks reportedly reached a deal Friday with No. 5 overall pick Devon Witherspoon, the last of the 259 draftees to sign a contract.

Multiple outlets reported that the 22-year-old cornerback agreed to a four-year, $31.86 million contract that includes a $20.2 million signing bonus.

Witherspoon, who was absent when the Seahawks opened training camp Wednesday in Renton, Wash., is expected to be at practice on Friday.

Witherspoon registered three interceptions, 14 passes defensed and 41 tackles in 12 games during his fourth season at Illinois in 2022.
