Pili was one of three Seahawks restricted free agents who were not tendered a contract before the new league year started Wednesday afternoon, making them all unrestricted free agents. Of those three, Pili and fullback Brady Russell have both been brought back Thursday.
A 26-year-old Alaska native who played high school football at Westview High in Portland, Pili appeared in 13 games with one start during the 2025 regular season for the Seahawks. He also appeared in Seattle’s NFC playoff games against the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
Pili had 12 combined tackles and a forced fumble last season for the Seahawks.
The 6-foot-3, 334-pound Pili initially signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent out of USC in 2023. He played 12 games between 2023-24 with the Dolphins.
Pili came to the Seahawks as a waiver claim in November 2024. He was released by Seattle and signed back onto the team’s practice squad once each in 2024 and 2025.
