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.

Rams GM Les Snead: Would be nice to add an All-Pro to the secondary The Los Angeles Rams fell short of their Super Bowl aspirations in January after failing to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. Despite Matthew Stafford’s strong performance, throwing for 374 yards and three touchdowns, the Rams’ defense struggled to contain the Seahawks’ offense. Seattle’s quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 153 yards and a touchdown, with Darnold connecting with Smith-Njigba 10 times. The Rams’ inability to stop the Seahawks’ passing game ultimately led to their loss, prompting Rams general manager Les Snead to emphasize the need for defensive upgrades. Snead highlighted the importance of strengthening the secondary during a press conference, acknowledging the team’s shortcomings. “Is there an All-Pro that you could add?” he said, referencing the potential value of acquiring a top-tier player. While no All-Pro defenders are available through free agency, Snead noted that a trade could be a viable option. The Rams’ possession of two first-round draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft may facilitate such a deal, though Snead has historically prioritized immediate impact over draft assets. He reiterated his focus on acquiring players who can “give us an edge and make an impact,” rather than relying on future selections. Analysts have pointed to Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie as a potential target for the Rams. McDuffie, an All-Pro selection, is seeking a new contract and previously trained under Rams defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake during his college career. His experience and proven ability to disrupt opposing offenses make him an attractive option for Los Angeles.#los_angeles_rams #seattle_seahawks #les_snead #sam_darnold #jaxon_smith_njigba
