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
Seahawks, Josh Jobe Agree to New Deal Cornerback Josh Jobe has finalized a new contract with the Seattle Seahawks, securing his return for the team’s title defense. Multiple reports indicate the deal is a three-year agreement worth $24 million. The move comes after Jobe spent the 2024 season on the Seahawks’ practice squad following his release by the Philadelphia Eagles. Jobe initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent from Alabama in 2022, joining the Eagles. After being waived by Philadelphia in 2024, he signed with the Seahawks’ practice squad. During the 2024 season, he appeared in 10 games and transitioned into a starting role in 2025. His performance earned him a prominent spot on the team’s defense. In the 2025 regular season, Jobe recorded 54 tackles, along with an interception and a half-sack. His contributions extended into the postseason, where he played a key role in the Seahawks’ run to the Super Bowl LX title. During the playoffs, he added 11 tackles and a forced fumble, showcasing his impact on both sides of the ball. The Seahawks’ defensive unit has seen other roster changes recently. Safety Coby Bryant has agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bears, leaving a gap in the secondary. Meanwhile, cornerback Riq Woolen remains eligible for free agency, adding uncertainty to the team’s plans. Jobe’s re-signing provides stability to the defense as the Seahawks aim to defend their championship.#philadelphia_eagles #chicago_bears #josh_jobe #seahawks #super_bowl_lx
Washington Commanders to Release CB Marshon Lattimore The Washington Commanders are set to release cornerback Marshon Lattimore, a decision that will free up $18.5 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season. The move, which had been anticipated since the end of last season, avoids the need for an injury settlement related to Lattimore’s torn ACL against the Seahawks in early November. The team previously had $71,284,969 in available cap space before this transaction, according to Overthecap. General manager Adam Peters acquired Lattimore at the 2024 trade deadline in exchange for third-, fourth-, and sixth-round picks in the 2025 draft, along with a 2025 fifth-round pick from the New Orleans Saints. The trade occurred while Lattimore was still recovering from a hamstring injury, which limited his availability with the team. He did not play in the first four games of the season and only suited up for two regular-season contests and all three playoff games. Lattimore started every game last season until his Week 9 injury sidelined him. The release of Lattimore is now finalized, with recent legal issues involving gun charges appearing to seal his departure. The Commanders now face the challenge of bolstering their secondary, as their current options include Mike Sainristil, who had a disappointing season, and rookie Trey Amos, whose career was cut short by a broken leg. The team also made changes to their coaching staff, firing defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and hiring Daronte Jones to implement his system. The move underscores the team’s focus on addressing defensive weaknesses while managing financial constraints. With Lattimore’s departure, the Commanders will need to add at least one more cornerback to strengthen their secondary ahead of the 2026 season.#washington_commanders #new_orleans_saints #seahawks #marshon_lattimore #adam_peters
