Seahawks Just Matched Jacksonville's Offer to Keep Jake Bobo: Here's What It Means
The Seahawks are keeping Jake Bobo. After the Jacksonville Jaguars signed the wide receiver to a multiyear offer sheet on Friday, Seattle matched the deal rather than let him walk. It's a move that says something about how the front office views the receiver's future in the Pacific Northwest, even after a rough 2025 season.
The Numbers: What Bobo Got Paid
Bobo's new deal is a two-year offer sheet worth $5.5 million, with $4.5 million guaranteed. If incentives get hit, it can reach up to $7 million. Not massive money, but it's a commitment. The Seahawks had five days to match after Bobo signed the sheet, and they did it without hesitation. This beats the right-of-first-refusal tender Seattle had assigned him earlier in March, which would have paid him $3.52 million for one year and given the team the right to match any outside offer. That's exactly what they exercised.
Why This Move Matters Despite Last Season
Here's the thing: Bobo had a genuinely brutal 2025. He missed the season opener with a concussion, sat out two games in November with Achilles and calf injuries, and then got scratched twice in December when healthy. When he did play, his role was seriously limited. He caught two passes for 20 yards in the regular season and added two receptions for 33 yards during the Super Bowl championship run. Those are not the numbers you want to see from a receiver on your roster.
But the Seahawks decided to keep him anyway. Maybe they believe he bounces back healthy. Maybe they see something in the tape that justifies another year. Either way, Seattle is betting on Bobo being part of the receiver room moving forward as Sam Darnold and the offense look to repeat championship magic.
The offseason keeps moving. Time to see if this investment pays off.
