The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back a key veteran, re-signing long snapper Chris Stoll to a two-year deal, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Stoll was set to become a restricted free agent on Wednesday, allowing him to negotiate with other teams before the Seahawks would have had a chance to match. Instead, Seattle locked down Stoll via a new deal that quells any concerns on special teams.
It was the second move of the day for the Seahawks, who still have not signed a single outside free agent yet as free agency enters the third day of legal tampering. Players will be able to officially sign contracts with new teams as of 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
Stoll, an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2023, has spent his entire career with the Seahawks thus far and was part of an exceptional special teams unit that helped the team win Super Bowl LX.
