Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Offer Sheet Matched by Seahawks The Seattle Seahawks have matched the Jacksonville Jaguars' offer sheet for wide receiver Jake Bobo, ensuring the player will remain with the team for the 2026 season. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the deal includes a two-year contract worth $5.5 million, with $4.5 million in guaranteed money. This move solidifies Bobo’s place on the roster despite his limited production in 2025. Bobo caught just two passes for 24 yards across 11 regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2025, reflecting his role as a depth option in a crowded wide receiver corps. The team’s offense features established stars like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed, leaving Bobo with minimal opportunities to contribute in 2026. The offer sheet, which the Seahawks matched, likely aims to keep Bobo in the system as a backup, providing flexibility in case key players face injuries or performance declines. The decision underscores the Seahawks’ strategy to retain developmental talent while managing salary cap constraints. With Bobo’s contract now secured, the team can focus on other roster moves, particularly in the wake of free agency and the NFL draft. His role in 2026 will likely remain situational, with the expectation that he will continue to contribute in limited snaps as part of the team’s depth chart. This development also highlights the competitive nature of the NFL’s free agent market, where teams often use offer sheets to retain players they value but may not have the cap space to sign directly. The Seahawks’ willingness to match the Jaguars’ bid signals confidence in Bobo’s potential, even as he faces challenges in securing a larger role.#seattle_seahawks #jacksonville_jaguars #jaxon_smith_njigba #jake_bobo #cooper_kupp
Seahawks Re-Sign Wide Receiver Jake Bobo on Two-Year Contract The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed wide receiver Jake Bobo to a two-year contract, ensuring his continued presence on the team. The deal, which includes a base salary of $3.52 million for the 2026 season, allows Seattle to match the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offer sheet that initially proposed a total value of $7 million with $4.5 million guaranteed. The Jaguars had extended the offer sheet to Bobo, who had previously been tendered a right of first refusal by the Seahawks. This tender would have paid him $3.52 million for the 2026 season, giving Seattle the option to match the Jaguars’ offer without losing draft pick compensation if Bobo had signed with Jacksonville. Bobo’s new contract marks a significant raise from his 2025 salary of $1.03 million, which was limited by injuries that restricted him to just 11 games and two catches during the regular season. However, he contributed further in the postseason, recording two additional catches, including a 17-yard touchdown reception in the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks’ decision to re-sign Bobo came shortly after they finalized a new contract with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. With Bobo re-signed and Rashid Shaheed also re-signed earlier this month, the Seahawks have retained most of their receiving corps from the previous season. The only notable departure is Dareke Young, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. This move underscores the team’s commitment to maintaining a strong and experienced receiving group for the upcoming season.

Seattle Seahawks Match Jacksonville Jaguars' Offer Sheet for WR Jake Bobo The Seattle Seahawks have matched the Jacksonville Jaguars' multiyear offer sheet for wide receiver Jake Bobo, according to a source shared with ESPN's Field Yates. Bobo, a restricted free agent, had signed the two-year offer sheet on Friday, giving the Seahawks five days to respond. The offer sheet is valued at $5.5 million, with $4.5 million guaranteed, and could increase to $7 million if performance incentives are met. The Seahawks had previously assigned the right-of-first-refusal tender to Bobo as a restricted free agent earlier this month. This move allowed him to negotiate a one-year deal worth $3.52 million while giving Seattle the authority to match any competing offer. Despite Bobo’s recent injury challenges, the Seahawks chose to match the Jaguars' proposal. Bobo’s 2024 season was marked by multiple injuries, including a concussion that sidelined him for the opener and subsequent issues with his Achilles and calf, leading to two healthy scratches in December. He finished the regular season with two receptions for 20 yards and contributed two catches for 33 yards during the Seahawks’ playoff run, including a 17-yard touchdown in the NFC Championship Game. Beyond his role as a wide receiver, Bobo is a key contributor to the Seahawks’ special teams units and serves as their best blocking wideout. His journey to the NFL has made him a fan favorite in Seattle. As an undrafted free agent from UCLA in 2023, he became a symbol of resilience after playing in Super Bowl LX just weeks after undergoing surgery for a broken hand sustained during the NFC Championship Game. In his NFL career, Bobo has recorded 34 receptions for 323 yards and three touchdowns.#seattle_seahawks #super_bowl_lx #jacksonville_jaguars #jake_bobo #nfc_championship_game
Jaguars Sign Seahawks WR Jake Bobo to Offer Sheet: What It Means The Jacksonville Jaguars have entered the 2026 free agency market by extending an offer sheet to Seattle Seahawks restricted free agent wide receiver Jake Bobo, according to a source confirmed to the Times-Union on Friday. The move marks the team’s first significant free agent signing since the new league year began on March 11. ESPN’s Field Yates was the first to report the development. The Seahawks had previously placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Bobo, which would grant him a non-guaranteed 2026 salary of $3.52 million. If the Seahawks choose not to match the Jaguars’ offer, they will not receive a draft pick. The Jaguars’ offer to Bobo remains undisclosed, and the Seahawks have five days to decide whether to match it. If they do, Bobo will stay with Seattle under the same terms the Jaguars proposed. Bobo, a 6-foot-4, 207-pound wide receiver, joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and has spent the past three seasons with the team. Known for his physicality on offense, Bobo has also been a standout special teams player, contributing 67% of the Seahawks’ special teams snaps in 2024 and 45% in 2025. Through 45 career games for Seattle (three starts), he has recorded 34 receptions for 323 yards and three touchdowns. The Jaguars’ pursuit of Bobo comes amid a busy free agency period for the team. Since March 11, Jacksonville has signed only one external free agent, running back Chris Rodriguez. The team opted not to re-sign wide receiver Dyami Brown, leaving him as an unsigned, undrafted free agent. Other notable departures include running back Travis Etienne, linebacker Devin Lloyd, and safety/special teams ace Andrew Wingard.#seahawks #jaguars #jake_bobo #field_yates #demetrius_harvey
Jaguars Sign Seahawks WR Jake Bobo to Offer Sheet; What Does It Mean? The Jacksonville Jaguars are pursuing a move to strengthen their wide receiver corps by signing Seahawks restricted free agent Jake Bobo to an offer sheet. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Jaguars have extended the deal to Bobo, giving Seattle five days to match the offer. If the Seahawks decline to match, Bobo will join the Jaguars, marking a potential shift in the team’s offensive strategy. Bobo, a restricted free agent with three years of NFL experience, is entering his fourth season in the league. The Seahawks placed a right of first refusal tender on him, which means they retain the ability to match any offer he receives. This arrangement prevents Seattle from gaining draft compensation for releasing Bobo, as the team would not be eligible for any trade assets in this scenario. The Jaguars’ decision to pursue Bobo comes as they aim to bolster depth at the wide receiver position. While their current roster includes established players like Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter, the team is looking to add versatility and reliability to the back end of the unit. The other wideouts on the roster are Austin Trammell, Tim Jones, and Chandler Brayboy. Bobo’s profile aligns with the Jaguars’ needs, as he has demonstrated value as a blocker and special teams contributor. Bobo’s NFL career began with an undrafted entry in 2023 from UCLA, where he spent his first three seasons with the Seahawks. During that time, he played a key role in Seattle’s Super Bowl-winning season, including a notable 17-yard touchdown reception in the NFC Championship game. Over his three seasons, Bobo has caught 36 of 46 targets for 9.9 yards per catch, with four touchdowns.#seahawks #super_bowl #jaguars #jake_bobo #field_yates
