The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a two-year contract extension with fullback Brady Russell, keeping the 27-year-old special teams standout in the Pacific Northwest. Russell has been with the Seahawks since 2023 and was a key contributor on special teams, playing 87% of the snaps in that phase last season.

Why it matters

Retaining Russell provides continuity for the Seahawks' special teams unit, which was a strength for the team in their Super Bowl-winning 2025 campaign. Fullbacks are becoming less common in the NFL, but Russell's ability to excel in the third phase of the game makes him a valuable piece of Seattle's roster.

The details

Russell appeared in all 17 games for the Seahawks in 2025, playing just 6% of the offensive snaps but making his mark on special teams. He recorded 14 tackles and one fumble recovery over the course of the season.

  • Russell has been with the Seahawks since 2023.
  • He won Super Bowl LX with the team in February 2026.
