On May 11, 2017, the Seattle Seahawks signed Thompson to a four-year, $3.07 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $672,004.[4]

Thompson was inactive as a healthy scratch for the Seahawks’ first seven games (Weeks 1-8). On November 5, 2017, Thompson made his professional regular season debut and made one tackle during their 17-14 loss against the Washington Redskins in Week 9.[7] He finished his rookie season in 2017 with four combined tackles (two solo) in nine games and zero starts.[8]

In week 5 of the 2019 season against the Los Angeles Rams, Thompson intercepted a pass from Jared Goff that was dropped by Gerald Everett in the 30-29 win. [9] In week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, Thompson intercepted a pass thrown by Baker Mayfield in the 32-28 win. [10]

On October 30, 2019, he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.[11]
