Seahawks Tender Restricted Free Agent WR Jake Bobo

The Seattle Seahawks have tendered a restricted free agent offer to wide receiver Jake Bobo, preventing him from becoming an unrestricted free agent prior to the start of the 2026 league year. The move, announced on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, allows Bobo to negotiate with other teams, but gives Seattle the right to match any offer sheet he receives. Seahawks.com

Understanding the Restricted Free Agent Tender

By placing a right of first refusal tender on Bobo, the Seahawks maintain the opportunity to retain his services. If another team signs Bobo to an offer sheet, Seattle has the option to match the terms and keep him on the roster. Should the Seahawks decline to match, they would not receive any draft compensation from the team that signs Bobo. Seahawks.com
