This page lists all the 2026 NFL Signings for the Seattle Seahawks. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

🏈 2026 NFL Free Agent Signing Grades by Team (Synced 3.23.26)
- Total Signings: 5
- Average Grade: B- (82.8)
March 2026 – Signings
Seahawks re-sign WR Jake Bobo (2 years, $5.5 million): C- Grade
signed on 3/23/2026
Of the two Seahawks receivers who were given new contracts today, one has been grossly overpaid, and it’s not Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It’s Jake Bobo, who will be paid $5.5 million over two years for some reason.
Bobo is a fun meme because he has the same last name as a famous clown, but he’s not really a viable NFL talent. It’s unclear why he’ll be making anything more than the veteran minimum.

Seahawks re-sign WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (4 years, $168.6 million): A- Grade
signed on 3/23/2026
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has become the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. Ja’Marr Chase previously held that distinction at slightly north of $40 million per year. Smith-Njigba has eclipsed Chase by about $2 million per season.
Smith-Njigba is arguably the best receiver in the NFL, so he deserves this sort of contract. I can’t grade this signing poorly, but I must also recognize that this is a lot of money to dedicate to a non-quarterback. That said, the cap is fake, so if Seahawks ownership is willing to shell out lots of money, then this contract won’t be very impactful as far as signing other players is concerned.

Seahawks sign RB Emanuel Wilson (1 year): A- Grade
signed on 3/12/2026
The Seahawks had Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet form a solid committee last year, but Walker is gone and Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL. George Holani was the lone, viable running back remaining, so the Seahawks had to obtain some help at the position.
Emanuel Wilson is a decent signing, considering the Seahawks brought him in for just one year. Wilson has been decent in relief of Josh Jacobs over the past two years, so he could be a fine option if the Seahawks don’t like any of the running back options available to them in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Seahawks re-sign WR/KR Rashid Shaheed (3 years, $51 million): B+ Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
So much for Rashid Shaheed going to Las Vegas to reunite with Klint Kubiak. Everyone believed that Shaheed would sign with the Raiders, but he opted to stay with the Seahawks instead.
It’s hard to hate this re-signing. Shaheed was a huge weapon on special teams late in the year for Seattle. The Seahawks couldn’t figure out how to use Shaheed on offense, but perhaps they’ll be able to do so with an entire offseason.

Seahawks re-sign CB Josh Jobe (3 years, $24 million): C+ Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
The Seahawks had two of prominent cornerbacks entering free agency, with Tariq Woolen and Josh Jobe set to have their contracts expire. Woolen is all but certain to leave, but Seattle was able to retain Jobe.
However, I don’t view this as a great move because it seems as though the Seahawks overpaid. Jobe isn’t a bad cornerback by any means, but he’s as pedestrian as it gets, so I can’t really support a contract worth $8 million per season. I think something worth $5 million per year or so would have been more appropriate.
