NFL free agency<\/a> is off and running, and we’re keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2026 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts.<\/p>\n

Teams can now negotiate with free agents and signings can become official with the start of the new league year on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. The first round of the 2026 NFL draft<\/a> begins April 23 on ESPN.<\/p>\n

Here’s a breakdown of every 2026 NFL free agent signing by the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> and how each will impact the upcoming season:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shaheed returns on a three years, $51 million deal<\/a> — with $34.7 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n

What it means: The Super Bowl champions are not going to get completely decimated in free agency after losing Kenneth Walker III<\/a>, Coby Bryant<\/a> and Boye Mafe<\/a> earlier Monday. Their chances of re-signing Shaheed did not seem strong when Schefter reported last week that he and Seattle weren’t close to a new deal, but one of the heroes of the Seahawks’ championship run will return after all. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a> in line for a massive extension and Cooper Kupp<\/a> set to make $13.5 million in 2026, they could have a lot of money tied up in their receiver room for a run-first team.<\/p>\n

To get proper value out of this deal, they’ll need to get more out of Shaheed on offense than the 29.33 scrimmage yards he averaged over 12 games after arriving via New Orleans in November. But that trade — which cost Seattle fourth- and fifth-round picks — was worthwhile for what he did on special teams with three return touchdowns, including one that helped Seattle hang onto the No. 1 seed and another in the playoffs. A receiver corps of JSN, Kupp, Shaheed and Tory Horton<\/a> will give quarterback Sam Darnold<\/a> and new coordinator Brian Fleury plenty to work with.<\/p>\n

Jobe is returning on a three year, $24 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.<\/p>\n

What it means: After losing a key piece of their top-ranked scoring defense when safety Coby Bryant<\/a> agreed to a deal with Chicago<\/a> earlier Monday, the Seahawks are bringing another one back. Of their top six unrestricted free agents, Jobe felt like the likeliest to re-sign. The Seahawks got that done for less money than some projected after Jobe produced some of the best coverage numbers of any cornerback in 2025 while overtaking Riq Woolen<\/a> on the depth chart. It was Jobe’s first full season as a starter, which suggests he may still be ascending even as he enters his age-28 season. In addition to Bryant, the Seahawks also lost running back Kenneth Walker III<\/a> within 90 minutes of the negotiating window opening. They’ll continue to suffer losses in free agency, as Super Bowl-winning teams usually do. But keeping Jobe for $8 million per season is a win for the world champions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brady HendersonMar 9, 2026, 07:09 PM ET CloseBrady Henderson is a reporter for NFL Nation and covers the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-514133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
