The Seattle Seahawks continue to make Super Bowl-winning players a priority this offseason free agency period. Seattle has lost some of its key players, like running back/Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and safety Coby Bryant. The Seahawks have been able to re-sign some of their stars, like wide receiver/return specialist Rashid Shaheed and cornerback Josh Jobe.
It wasn’t just the star players who helped the Seahawks win their second Super Bowl title in franchise history. It was the multiple players, such as fullback/special teams specialist Brady Russell, who also made a huge impact. The Seahawks want Russell to remain a key role player as the team re-signed Russell to a two-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The Seahawks may have offered Russell a deal to remain in Seattle, but it was he who chose to make the final decision. Pelissero reportedly said that Russell had interest in another team, which means there was an offer. Instead, Russell chose to remain in Seattle to play for the Seahawks.
Russell is listed as the backup fullback behind rookie Robbie Ouzts, who has more contributions as a special teams defender. In 17 games played, Russell accounted for 14 total tackles, with 10 of them being solo tackles. Russell was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. He has accumulated 31 total tackles and 21 solo tackles as a special teamer in his three years with the Seahawks.
