Cody White Back in Green and Blue: Third Receiver Locked In for 2026
The Seahawks just put a bow on their free agent class, and Cody White is the final name on that list. The receiver re-signed with Seattle on Wednesday morning, meaning pretty much every unrestricted, restricted, or exclusive rights free agent who was up for grabs is now either back with the team or playing somewhere else. That is a wrap on offseason business.
White Completes the Receiver Room
White becomes the third receiver staying in Seattle alongside Rashid Shaheed, who locked in a three-year, $51 million deal as an unrestricted free agent, and Jake Bobo, who was tendered as a restricted free agent. That is a solid trio to build around heading into the draft and training camp.
White has been a Seahawk since October 2023 when he signed to the practice squad. The guy bounced around before landing in Seattle, hitting four different rosters after entering the league in 2020 as an undrafted free agent from Michigan State. He played in 10 games last season, hauled in three receptions for 90 yards, and found the end zone for the first time in the NFL with a 60-yard touchdown grab in a win at Washington. He also took four kickoff returns for 106 yards as a reliable special teams contributor.
Back from Injury and Ready to Roll
A groin injury suffered in a win at Carolina on December 28 kept White sidelined for the final regular season game and the postseason. But he is ready to go.
"Any opportunity that I'm able to get, especially coming off injury is truly a blessing," White said in a statement released on the Seahawks' website. "I am so excited to be back in Seattle and then being back close to 100 percent, getting back ready for OTAs. It's going to be exciting."
The terms of his deal were not immediately released, but White is locked in.
The Free Agent Cleanup is Done
Out of 18 players who hit the free agent market, five signed elsewhere. The Seahawks kept everyone else, either bringing them back as free agents or tendering restricted and exclusive rights free agents to stay put. The only players from last season still unsigned are those who finished on the practice squad and did not get futures deals.
Seattle has now signed or agreed to terms with 74 players and holds four picks in the upcoming draft. That leaves room to add more bodies as teams can carry up to 90 players during the offseason and training camp. The draft is coming next month, and with the receiver room set, the focus shifts to filling other holes and building depth across the roster.
