Seattle

Seahawks

Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the Seahawks’ divisional round win over the 49ers last postseason, and didn’t have surgery to repair the injury until February. While there were concerns that Charbonnet may miss all of 2026 due to the timing of his injury and the surgery Macdonald confirmed that he expects to have the fourth-year RB back at some point this season. In the meantime, the loss of Kenneth Walker, combined with Charbonnet’s injury, puts the Seahawks in a unique position at RB to start the year. The team did go out and add Emanuel Wilson via free agency earlier this month, but the Seahawks could be in play for a Day 2 rookie at the position to pair with Wilson, George Holani, and a slew of other backups until Charbonnet is able to return. Charbonnet rushed for a career-high 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season with the Seahawks and will presumably serve as their RB1 once healthy, but he’s a near lock to open the season on the PUP list, and could miss extensive time to start the year.

A vacuum in need is a vacuum indeed, and with Kenneth Walker gone, Emanuel Wilson is likely the No. 1 back on the depth chart at this point in the offseason. Harris missed most of last season with a torn Achilles after a 15/61 rushing line in a few weeks with the Chargers. He’s somehow still only 28. It is a fit that makes sense from the outside if the Seahawks are comfortable with Harris’ medicals. Ian Rapoport reports that Harris plans to visit the Raiders in the near future.

The Seahawks had five days to match the Jaguars’ offer to Bobo, and have opted to do so, signing the third-year receiver to a two-year deal that can pay up to $7 million based on incentives. Bobo caught just two passes for 20 yards last season, but also caught a 17-yard touchdown in the NFC Championship game to beat the Rams and advance to the Super Bowl. The former UDFA has a career receiving line of 34-323-3 but could have a chance to earn an expanded role in 2026 after the team opted to keep him on this new deal.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal. The 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl Champion will sign the richest contract extension for a receiver in NFL history, which includes $120 million in guaranteed money. JSN is coming off back-to-back 100-catch seasons and went for 119-1,793-10 last season while averaging a career-high 15.1 YPR, and came up big in the playoffs, scoring twice in three playoff games on the way to a Super Bowl title. This extension comes just days after the Seahawks exercised JSN’s fifth-year option and will now keep him under contract through 2031.

Dugar thinks McIntosh, who tore his ACL in August and missed the 2025 season, is “as talented as any running back on the roster” if he makes a full recovery. There have been worse desperation fliers in deep dynasty leagues, though we’d want to see if Seattle comes out of the draft without a running back before we said McIntosh must be rostered.

Witherspoon has made three Pro Bowls via initial-ballot voting, so his fully guaranteed fifth-year option comes in at around $21.2 million. He also earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2025. The Seahawks now have extra time to work on a long-term extension for their talented, 25-year-old cornerback.

Per ESPN’s Brady Henderson, Smith-Njigba’s 2027 salary is fully guaranteed and should make him roughly $23.85 million. Evidently, the 24-year-old wide receiver hit a pay scale escalator with his “one initial-ballot Pro Bowl,” boosting the value of his fifth-year option. Overall, Smith-Njigba has earned one first-team All-Pro spot and made two Pro Bowls through his three NFL seasons. He led the league with 1,793 receiving yards last year. Henderson previously suggested that the fifth-year option could be used to buy both sides more time as they work toward a potential record-setting, long-term extension.

ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Seahawks now have five days to decide whether to match the offer. The original-round tender would have made Bobo $3.52 million this year, though the money is not guaranteed. We do not know what the Jaguars’ offer is, but obviously, they beat the Seahawks’ numbers. The Florida Times-Union notes that the Seahawks will not receive draft pick compensation if they decline to match the offer sheet.

White appeared in 10 games for the Seahawks last year. He caught three passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. With Jake Bobo also under contract for the 2026 season, most of White’s reps will come on special teams.

Surratt’s agency announced Tuesday that he will be re-signing with the Seahawks. The 29-year-old has primarily been a special teamer throughout his career, only seeing more than 10 defensive snaps in a season in 2024 with the Jets. The Seahawks bring him back to be a core special teamer for 2026.
