Drafted No. 48 overall in 2018 by the Los Angeles Chargers, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is coming off the most productive year of his NFL career.

Uchenna Nwosu Salary

Nwosu was drafted by the Chargers and played his first four seasons there before signing with the Seattle Seahawks. Nwosu signed a two-year, $19,055,000 contract with the Seahawks, including a $9,500,000 signing bonus, $10,535,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $9,527,500.

Uchenna Nwosu Cap Hit

The 26-year-old carries a $13,010,000 cap hit in 2023.

Uchenna Nwosu Potential Extension

There’s a lot to like about how Nwosu fits into the Seahawks’ defense in 2022. He played a career-high 78.7% of the snaps, tallying 67 tackles and three forced fumbles. If Nwosu can build off his strong 2022 campaign, he’ll likely seek a raise in free agency in 2024.

Nwosu’s current contract has him as the 24th highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.
