Brittany Mahomes Adds a Fresh Twist to Chiefs Game-Day Fashion Brittany Mahomes made a bold statement with her game-day outfit during the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, choosing a strikingly different color palette from the team’s traditional red-and-gold scheme. The 30-year-old attended Friday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium with her family, including her husband, Patrick Mahomes, who watched from the sidelines as the Chiefs and Seahawks played to a 9-9 draw. While the game lacked a decisive conclusion, Brittany’s fashion choice became a focal point for fans. Her outfit featured a double-denim look, combining a cropped blue denim jacket with matching micro shorts, creating a casual yet polished appearance. Underneath the jacket, she wore a simple white T-shirt, adding a clean contrast to the ensemble. The standout element of her look was her footwear—blue Adidas sneakers that seamlessly extended the denim theme. This coordinated color scheme, which deviated from the Chiefs’ usual red-and-gold palette, drew attention and sparked conversations among fans. Brittany accessorized her outfit with rose-colored sunglasses and styled her blonde hair in a straight, side-parted cut. Her makeup added a touch of glamour while maintaining the laid-back vibe of the outfit. The post, shared on Instagram with the caption “Straight chaos 😎❤️,” highlighted the family’s lively game-day experience, blending casual moments with her fashion-forward approach. Her children also made an appearance, with her daughter Sterling, 5, wearing a gray “Chiefs Kingdom” dress paired with a red bow in her hair. Her son Bronze, 3, donned a red Chiefs-branded polo, continuing the family’s tradition of supporting Patrick from the sidelines.#kansas_city_chiefs #seattle_seahawks #patrick_mahomes #arrowhead_stadium #brittany_mahomes

Seattle Seahawks Place Two on IR, Sign Three New Players The Seattle Seahawks made several roster adjustments on Tuesday, placing rookie safety Bud Clark and second-year offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve due to injuries sustained during their preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The moves effectively end the seasons for both players, while the team also signed three new players to fill open spots on their 90-man roster. The decisions came after the Seahawks’ 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans on August 23, 2026, which saw multiple key players sidelined. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, suffered a broken ankle on the Seahawks’ first defensive snap of the game. He was carted off the field during the contest, marking a significant setback for the young safety. The injury occurred just days after Clark made his preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys on August 15, where he recorded three tackles. Over his college career at TCU, Clark totaled 15 interceptions, including two pick-sixes, across 61 games. His inclusion on the Seahawks’ defensive back rotation was anticipated following his standout performance in college. Richman, a seventh-round pick from Iowa in 2025, also sustained a serious injury during the game. The backup offensive lineman was involved in Seattle’s opening touchdown drive, which led to his exit. Prior to the injury, Richman had appeared in just two games for the Seahawks in 2025, logging one offensive snap and 11 special teams snaps. His limited playing time highlighted the challenges he faced in securing a roster spot. In addition to the IR placements, the Seahawks signed offensive tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to bolster their roster.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #bud_clark #mason_richman #derrick_graham

Seahawks Place Bud Clark and Mason Richman on Season-Ending Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman will miss the 2026 season after being placed on injured reserve. Both players sustained injuries during the first quarter of the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville. Clark, a rookie second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, broke his ankle on the first defensive play of the game. Richman, a 2025 seventh-round selection, injured his right leg during the opening series while playing left guard. Coach Mike Macdonald provided updates on the players’ conditions postgame, stating that Clark would miss “multiple months” of action and that Richman’s injury was “major,” likely sidelining him for the entire season. The decision to place both players on injured reserve came before the July 25 deadline for teams to trim their rosters to 53 players, meaning they will not be eligible to return for the 2026 season. Clark had been running with the second-team defense and was expected to challenge starting safety Ty Okada for the starting role opposite Julian Love. Richman, a versatile backup, had the ability to play tackle, guard, and center, making him a valuable depth option. Macdonald expressed disappointment over the injuries, calling the players “great football players” with “great futures” and emphasizing the emotional toll of losing them. “It’s a heartbreaker, honestly,” he said, noting the team had already dealt with three heartbreakers during the week. The Seahawks’ trip to Nashville proved costly beyond Clark and Richman. Wide receiver Jake Bobo also suffered a season-ending knee injury during a joint practice with the Titans on Friday.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman

Seahawks Sign Three Free Agents, Place Bud Clark & Mason Richman On Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks placed safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after both sustained significant injuries during the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. The moves came as the Seahawks addressed three open spots on their 90-man roster, which had expanded following the waiver of running back Anthony Hankerson on Monday. The team signed tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to fill the vacancies. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, broke his ankle on Seattle’s first defensive snap of the game. Richman, a 2025 draft selection, limped off the field in the first quarter with a serious injury that could sideline him for an extended period. Their injuries joined a list of setbacks from the team’s preseason trip to Nashville, as receiver Jake Bobo was also placed on injured reserve earlier in the week due to a knee injury sustained during a joint practice with the Titans. Coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the severity of the injuries, stating, “We had two really tough injuries today. Bud has a broken ankle to my knowledge, the severity I'm not sure, but he's going to be out multiple months. Then we're going to try to figure out what's on with Mason, but we also think that's a major injury, a long-term injury. Two guys that we love that play our style of ball that are our type of guys. Teammates love them, great teammates, great guys, great football players, they have great futures. It's a heartbreaker, honestly. We got three heartbreakers this weekend, which is tough.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman

Seahawks' Joint Practice With Titans Highlights Key Performances and Team Dynamics NASHVILLE—The Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans conducted their second joint practice of the season on Friday, with head coach Mike Macdonald emphasizing the value of the session despite the physical and mental challenges posed by the heat and humidity. The practice, held in Nashville, marked the third consecutive year under Macdonald’s leadership that the Seahawks have participated in such drills with the Titans. While the session included some minor setbacks, including an injury to receiver Jake Bobo, it also showcased standout performances from several players, offering insight into the team’s progress as the season approaches. Macdonald described the practice as a "great work day" despite the conditions, noting that the heat and humidity were slightly cooler than previous years but still challenging. He acknowledged that some players experienced cramps, but overall, the session provided valuable reps for starters. "We got a lot of reps in," he said, highlighting the controlled environment as a key advantage over preseason games, where starters might only get 20-30 reps. The practice also emphasized the importance of focus and discipline, with players and coaches reminding each other to prioritize execution over excess energy. One of the most notable performances came from rookie running back Jadarian Price, who returned to full participation after missing part of camp with upper-leg soreness. Price, Seattle’s first-round draft pick, made an immediate impact, showcasing his versatility in both passing and running situations. Early in the session, he made an over-the-shoulder catch for a big gain in a seven-on-seven drill.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #jake_bobo #mike_macdonald #jadarian_price

Brian Schottenheimer Identifies Key Areas for Improvement as Cowboys Prepare for Cardinals OXNARD, Calif. – The Dallas Cowboys’ defense made a strong impression in their preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks, limiting the opponent to just 76 yards of offense on their final seven drives. However, head coach Brian Schottenheimer acknowledged that there are critical areas the team must address ahead of their next game against the Arizona Cardinals. During a press conference on Monday, Schottenheimer highlighted two primary concerns: the performance of the special teams unit and the effectiveness of the offensive line. Schottenheimer described the special teams effort as “not good enough” and emphasized the need for the team to return to fundamentals. He expressed disappointment with several aspects of their execution, including a failure to maintain contain and provide kick-side leverage. The coach pointed out specific issues, such as players not keeping the ball on the correct shoulder and poor non-verbal communication among coverage teams. “We had a long special teams meeting today,” Schottenheimer said. “It’s going to be a big part of our emphasis because it wasn’t good enough.” The Cowboys’ struggles were evident in their performance against the Seahawks, where they allowed 144 yards on six combined punt and kickoff returns. The Seahawks’ average starting field position was their own 42-yard line, indicating a lack of containment. Schottenheimer also criticized the team’s inability to establish a consistent running game, noting that the offense rushed for just 40 net yards in the first half of the game. “We didn’t block very well in that first half,” he said. “We weren’t very efficient running the football.#seattle_seahawks #arizona_cardinals #new_orleans_saints #dallas_cowboys #brian_schottenheimer

Russell Wilson Says Thank You To Football, Announces Move To Television Russell Wilson, the winningest quarterback in franchise history and a Super Bowl champion, has officially announced his transition from professional football to a career in television. The decision marks the end of a decade-long journey with the Seattle Seahawks, during which he redefined the team’s legacy and became a cornerstone of its success. Wilson, who was initially viewed as a long shot when drafted in 2012, has now stepped away from the gridiron to take on a role as an analyst for CBS Sports’ NFL Today. Wilson’s tenure with the Seahawks began with a third-round selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. Despite early doubts about his height and physicality, he quickly established himself as a dynamic playmaker. His rookie season saw the Seahawks reach the playoffs, though they fell short in a divisional round matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The following year, Wilson led the team to its first Super Bowl victory, bringing the Lombardi Trophy to Seattle for the first time in franchise history. This achievement solidified his status as a franchise icon. Over the next 10 seasons, Wilson became synonymous with the Seahawks’ success. He earned Pro Bowl honors nine times, breaking nearly every passing record in team history. His career totals include 292 touchdown passes, 40 in a single season, and a career-high completion percentage. He also set franchise records for passing yards (37,059), completions (3,079), and 300-yard games (21). His leadership extended beyond statistics; in 2020, he won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, becoming just the second player in Seahawks history to achieve this honor, joining the legendary Steve Largent. Wilson’s impact on the team extended beyond his playing days.#cbs_sports #seattle_seahawks #super_bowl #russell_wilson #walter_payton_nfl_man_of_the_year

Russell Wilson Responds to Seahawks’ Parting Message After His NFL Retirement Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks shared another meaningful moment following the veteran quarterback’s retirement announcement, bringing renewed attention to one of the most successful partnerships in franchise history. After the organization released a heartfelt message recognizing Wilson’s accomplishments, the former Seahawks star responded with appreciation, highlighting the lasting connection between player and team. Wilson’s retirement officially closed the chapter on a remarkable NFL career that spanned 14 seasons and included countless memorable moments. Although he played for several organizations during the latter stages of his career, his legacy remains closely tied to Seattle, where he developed from a third-round draft pick into one of the league’s premier quarterbacks. His tenure with the Seahawks helped transform the franchise into a perennial contender and delivered some of the most successful years in team history. The exchange between Wilson and the Seahawks resonated with fans who witnessed his rise from promising rookie to Super Bowl champion. Throughout his time in Seattle, Wilson became known for his ability to extend plays, produce late-game heroics, and consistently perform under pressure. His leadership and production helped establish a winning culture that allowed the franchise to remain among the NFL’s elite for much of the 2010s. Even after his departure, Wilson’s impact on the organization continued to shape discussions about the franchise’s greatest players. His accomplishments include multiple Pro Bowl selections, deep playoff runs, and a championship that remains one of the defining moments in Seahawks history.#instagram #seattle_seahawks #super_bowl_liv #russell_wilson #seahawks_fans

Vikings Hire Seahawks' Nolan Teasley as GM to Replace Kwesi Adofo-Mensah The Minnesota Vikings have appointed Nolan Teasley as their new general manager, replacing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Teasley, who served as Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager under John Schneider, will take over a team that has faced challenges in recent seasons. Adofo-Mensah was dismissed after four years in the role, following a 9-8 record in the Vikings' first season with J.J. McCarthy as starting quarterback. The Vikings' decision to part ways with Adofo-Mensah came shortly after the team's disappointing 9-8 campaign, which marked a stark contrast to their previous 14-3 season under Sam Darnold. Darnold, however, was released after the 2025 season following a Wild Card loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Vikings had initially extended contracts to both head coach Kevin O'Connell and Adofo-Mensah in May 2025, but tensions within the organization reportedly led to Adofo-Mensah's dismissal less than a year later. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that "tension" had been present during his tenure. Under acting general manager Rob Brzezinski, the Vikings have pursued a busy offseason, including the signing of former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and selecting defensive lineman Caleb Banks in the 2026 draft. Teasley's hiring aims to stabilize the front office and rebuild the team's competitive edge. Teasley's career trajectory with the Seahawks has been marked by steady advancement. He joined the scouting department in 2013, ahead of Schneider's fourth season with the team. By 2023, he was promoted to assistant general manager, a role that provided him with valuable experience in personnel decisions.#minnesota_vikings #seattle_seahawks #john_schneider #nolan_teasley #kwesi_adofomensah

Former NFL Player Sentenced to 16 Years for Defrauding Medicare and VA of $200 Million A former NFL player, Joel Rufus French, 47, of Armory, Mississippi, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for orchestrating a multiyear scheme that defrauded Medicare and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) out of $200 million. French, a former member of the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers, operated a marketing company and controlled eight durable medical equipment (DME) firms. His scheme involved selling patient information and falsifying medical orders to submit fraudulent claims for orthotic braces, which patients did not need or want. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed that French collaborated with overseas telemarketing call centers to target elderly patients, pressuring them to share personal and health insurance details. In some cases, call recordings were altered to falsely indicate Medicare beneficiaries had agreed to receive orthotic braces. French also paid kickbacks to sham telemedicine companies to obtain fraudulent doctors’ orders from physicians and nurse practitioners who never examined the patients. These orders were then sold to marketers and medical supply firms, which submitted claims to Medicare and the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). French further exploited the system by billing Medicare and CHAMPVA through eight DME supply companies he owned, using straw owners and fabricated documents to conceal his involvement. Court records show he laundered approximately $225,000 in cash, with over $10,000 transported to Orlando to pay accomplices who provided stolen beneficiary information.#green_bay_packers #seattle_seahawks #department_of_health_and_human_services #joel_rufus_french #u_s_department_of_justice

Seattle Seahawks Could Trade Back in NFL Draft to Secure Top Talent The Seattle Seahawks are set to select the final pick of the first round at No. 32 overall during the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night. However, general manager John Schneider has already signaled the team’s intent to trade back, as they currently hold just four total selections in the draft. This strategy is driven by the need to bolster their roster with additional picks, particularly in the later rounds. Schneider’s comments at a recent press conference confirmed the team’s approach, stating, “It’s no secret with us. We have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back.” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah provided insight into how far the Seahawks might trade back, emphasizing the importance of securing key players. A central focus of the discussion was Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, who is speculated to be a top target for Seattle. Price could replace Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, who left for Kansas City via free agency. Jeremiah highlighted Price’s potential impact, noting, “I still think (Jadarian) Price is a big part of that equation. So how far back do you want to slide? How comfortable are you going back?” Jeremiah’s mock draft scenario suggested the Seahawks could trade back to the No. 45 overall pick, a move that would provide more flexibility in the second round. He outlined potential players they could target in that range, including defensive prospects like Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas, UCF’s Malachi Lawrence, and Illinois’ Gabe Jacas. For the cornerback position, he mentioned South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse, Georgia’s Daylen Everette, and South Carolina’s Jalon Kilgore as viable options.#notre_dame #seattle_seahawks #john_schneider #jadarian_price #daniel_jeremiah

Seahawks Navigate NFL Draft with Strategic Considerations The Seattle Seahawks face a pivotal draft process as they prepare to select players in the 2025 NFL draft, which begins on Thursday. The team holds four picks, including the 32nd selection in the first round, a spot traditionally awarded to the Super Bowl champion. General Manager John Schneider has emphasized the importance of this draft, noting that the 32nd pick is the last in the first round and offers unique value, particularly because it is the final opportunity to secure a player with a fifth-year option—a benefit exclusive to first-round selections. Schneider has openly discussed the team’s intent to trade down, a strategy that aligns with their limited number of picks. While the Seahawks have historically traded up to acquire high-value players, such as Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf in previous drafts, this year’s approach is expected to focus on moving back to accumulate more selections. Schneider acknowledged the inevitability of trading down, stating, “It’s no secret with us, guys. We have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back.” The team’s strategy may involve trades with their other picks—64, 96, and 188—as well as potential deals involving players on their loaded roster. The Seahawks’ draft preparation has been thorough, with Schneider hinting at process improvements. He mentioned additional meetings and streamlined collaboration with the coaching staff, aiming to enhance their evaluation methods. “We just did some extra meetings and feel like it’s going to help us in the future,” Schneider said. “We’re out ahead a little bit compared to the past.” The team’s focus on free agency and undrafted free agents has also been a key component of their preparation.#seattle_seahawks #nfl_draft #john_schneider #mike_macdonald #super_bowl_champion

Seahawks to Open Week 1 on Wednesday Amid International Schedule Shift The NFL has confirmed that the Seattle Seahawks will kick off the 2026 season on a Wednesday night, deviating from the traditional Thursday night opener. This adjustment is necessary to accommodate the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, who will play their Week 1 game in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday night in the United States. The Seahawks’ matchup, scheduled for NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET, will mark their first Wednesday night start since 2012. The Rams and 49ers’ game in Australia will take place on Friday morning at 10:35 a.m. local time, which translates to 8:35 p.m. ET. However, the league has not yet announced the broadcast partner for this international contest. The decision to shift the Seahawks’ opener stems from the need to align with the Rams and 49ers’ game, which will be televised in the U.S. on Thursday night. This marks the first time the NFL will host a regular-season game in Australia. The Rams were announced as the host team in February 2024, with the 49ers confirmed as their opponent last month. The match will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), a venue that has previously hosted major sporting events. The NFL’s decision to move the Seahawks’ opener also reflects broader scheduling adjustments. The league has historically played international games on Fridays following the season opener, such as the 2024 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in São Paulo, Brazil, and the 2025 game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo. However, this year’s international game in Australia cannot follow the same pattern due to a provision in the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.#los_angeles_rams #san_francisco_49ers #seattle_seahawks #melbourne_cricket_ground #sports_broadcasting_act

Cowboys Signing CB Derion Kendrick The Dallas Cowboys have signed cornerback Derion Kendrick to a one-year contract, according to NFL Trade Rumors reporter Tom Pelissero. The move adds depth to the team’s secondary and positions Kendrick to compete for a roster spot during training camp. Kendrick, 25, was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams. He was entering the final year of a four-year rookie contract worth $3.8 million when the Rams waived him earlier this offseason. After re-signing with the Rams in June, Kendrick was released during the preseason. The Seattle Seahawks claimed him off the waiver wire but cut him shortly after. He was later reacquired by the Rams. In 2025, Kendrick played in 10 games for the Seahawks and five for the Rams, tallying 10 total tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, and five pass deflections. His most recent stint with the Rams came after being reclaimed from the Seahawks. The Cowboys’ decision to sign Kendrick reflects their efforts to bolster their secondary, which has faced challenges in recent seasons. With multiple starters either injured or underperforming, adding depth through free agency is a strategic move to ensure competition and readiness for the 2026 season. © NFLTradeRumors.co is an independent news source and has no affiliation with the National Football League (NFL), NFL.com, or any team(s).#los_angeles_rams #seattle_seahawks #nfl_trade_rumors #dallas_cowboys #derion_kendrick

Derion Kendrick Signs with Dallas Cowboys After Rams Release Former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Derion Kendrick has signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, according to his agent. The move comes after Kendrick was waived by the Rams during final cuts in 2025 and later joined the Seattle Seahawks before returning to L.A. for the 2025 season. Despite playing five games with the Rams, Kendrick was not on the active roster for the playoffs. Kendrick, a sixth-round draft pick by the Rams in 2022, showed promise early in his career. He started six games as a rookie and 12 in his second season. However, his inconsistent performance and frequent costly penalties led to his demotion on the depth chart. A torn ACL in 2024 sidelined him for the entire season, and he failed to make the 2025 team. After spending 10 games with the Seahawks, Kendrick was released and returned to the Rams, only to be cut again before the 2026 season. The Rams have moved on from Kendrick, bolstering their cornerback corps with the addition of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson during the offseason. This marks a new era for the team’s secondary, which has undergone significant changes ahead of the 2026 season. Kendrick’s departure to Dallas signals the end of his time with the Rams, as the team continues to reshape its defense. Kendrick’s journey with the Rams highlights the challenges faced by players in the NFL, where injuries and performance inconsistencies can lead to quick exits. While his time with the team was brief, his signing with the Cowboys represents a fresh start for the former cornerback. As the Rams focus on building a stronger secondary, Kendrick’s new chapter with Dallas will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.#los_angeles_rams #seattle_seahawks #dallas_cowboys #trent_mcduffie #derion_kendrick

Dallas Cowboys Sign Cornerback Derion Kendrick The Dallas Cowboys have finalized a one-year contract with free agent cornerback Derion Kendrick, adding depth to their defensive roster during the offseason. The 25-year-old player, who previously spent time with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, is expected to contribute as a reliable defensive back for the team. Kendrick, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, began his NFL career with the Rams. After a brief stint with the Seahawks in 2025, he was reclaimed by the Rams on waivers in late November. Over his career, he has appeared in 47 games, including 17 starts, and recorded 102 tackles along with three interceptions. His experience in both the Rams and Seahawks systems positions him as a versatile option for Dallas’ secondary. The Cowboys’ decision to sign Kendrick reflects their ongoing efforts to strengthen their defense. With key players already on the roster, the addition of Kendrick provides flexibility and competition at the cornerback position. His ability to adapt to different schemes and his track record of making plays in critical moments make him a valuable asset for the team. Kendrick’s journey through multiple teams highlights the challenges faced by young players in the NFL. After being waived by the Seahawks, he quickly found a new opportunity with the Rams, showcasing his resilience and determination. His return to the Rams in 2025 demonstrated his ability to bounce back from setbacks, a trait that could serve him well in his new role with the Cowboys. The signing also underscores the Cowboys’ strategy of targeting players with proven experience and upside. While Kendrick’s one-year deal may not guarantee long-term commitment, it allows both parties to evaluate his performance in a competitive environment.#nfl #los_angeles_rams #seattle_seahawks #dallas_cowboys #derion_kendrick

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. Bob Condotta, a sports reporter for The Seattle Times, covers the Seahawks and other sports for the outlet.#seattle_seahawks #jacksonville_jaguars #jaxon_smith_njigba #jake_bobo #dareke_young

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

Titans Cutting Ties With 66-Game Starter Should Interest Eagles, Chiefs, Seahawks The Tennessee Titans have parted ways with veteran defensive back L’Jarius Sneed, marking a significant move in the team’s offseason restructuring. Sneed, who was acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in a 2022 trade, was released after appearing in just 11 games for the Titans. The decision comes as the team seeks to manage its salary cap, with the release saving $11.4 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Sneed’s $76 million contract, which included a significant portion of the cap space, is now void, allowing the Titans to reallocate resources for other priorities. Despite his limited playing time with Tennessee, Sneed’s career has been defined by his time with the Chiefs, where he established himself as one of the league’s top cornerbacks. His departure from Kansas City in 2022 was part of a roster overhaul, and the team has since lost key players like Trent McDuffie and Jaylon Watson to the Los Angeles Rams. This has left the Chiefs with pressing needs at the cornerback position, making a return to Kansas City a logical option for Sneed. The Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Seattle Seahawks are among the teams most likely to pursue Sneed. For the Eagles, who already have Riq Woolen and Quinyon Mitchell in their cornerback corps, adding Sneed would provide depth and veteran leadership. His experience could be particularly valuable as a top-tier backup, offering stability in a secondary that has faced challenges in recent seasons. The Seahawks, meanwhile, could use Sneed’s presence to address their own cornerback struggles. With Woolen departing, the team may look to Sneed to compete for a starting role, potentially freeing up Devon Witherspoon to focus on his strengths as a slot corner.#philadelphia_eagles #kansas_city_chiefs #seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #l_jarius_sneed
