After selecting Derick Hall with the 37th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks believed they had landed a third player with first-round talent. Such an assessment appears to have carried over into contract negotiations.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang investigate Hall's unprecedented rookie contract that includes rare guaranteed money in his fourth season and where things stand as Seattle tries to sign its entire rookie class.

Smith and Rang also dive into what went down at the VMAC on day two of mandatory minicamp and take a way-too-early look at an intriguing competition at outside linebacker opposite of Uchenna Nwosu.
