The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed cornerback Josh Jobe to a multi-year contract extension, locking up a key piece of their defensive secondary ahead of the new league year. Jobe, who went undrafted out of Alabama in 2022, spent his first two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Seahawks practice squad in 2024. He earned a promotion to the 53-man roster midway through that season and became a regular starter in 2025, playing a crucial role in the team's Super Bowl championship run.

Why it matters

Jobe's new contract extension is an important move for the Seahawks, as he has emerged as a standout cornerback in their defense over the past two seasons.

He worked his way up to the 53-man roster that season and became a full-time starter in 2025, making 15 starts and playing 78% of the team's defensive snaps. That season, he recorded 12 passes defensed, one interception, 54 tackles, two quarterback hits and half a sack. Jobe also started all three of the Seahawks' playoff games, including a strong performance in Super Bowl LX.

“We put him on islands a lot of the time, just saying, 'All right, it's on you.' You don't have schemes you can't Mike Macdonald your way through playing corner for us, you've got to man up and play ball. He lines up, he's going to line up this close to these receivers. He had a tall task all year, and he met that task.”
