After initial reports indicated that wide receiver Jake Bobo would not receive a tender as a restricted free agent, therefore making him unrestricted, the Seahawks have decided to give him a right of first refusal tender, valued at $3.52 million.
If Bobo signs the tender then he'll play on that contract, but in the meantime he can still negotiate with other teams. Seattle can also give Bobo a separate deal that would override the tender. The Seahawks have a right to match any outside offer for Bobo, but unlike other RFA tenders Seattle would not receive draft compensation if he were to sign elsewhere.
While Bobo had a significantly reduced role as a pass catcher in the Seahawks offense in 2025, he remained a part of Seattle's run blocking and special teams units. Having caught three passes all year prior to the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams, his fourth catch was a touchdown that gave the Seahawks the first of two 11-point leads in the second half. Seattle is undefeated in the four games Bobo has scored a touchdown.
With Rashid Shaheed extended earlier in the week, the only Seahawks receivers who remain unsigned free agents are Cody White and 2022 seventh-round pick Dareke Young.
