The Seattle Seahawks are running out of players to re-sign, but that has as much to do with the Hawks themselves as other teams at this point.

Seattle has reportedly agreed to re-sign linebacker Chazz Surratt, NFL insider Aaron Wilson of KCPR 2 reported Tuesday afternoon. According to ESPN Seahawks reporter Brady Henderson, the Seahawks are bringing the free agent back on a one-year contract.
With Surratt off the market, the Seahawks have just a handful of names left from their season-ending roster remaining in free agency. They are wide receiver Jake Bobo, a restricted free agent who Seattle has extended a right of first refusal tender to, and wide receiver Cody White, who was a restricted free agent who the Seahawks did not tender. There is also cornerback Tyler Hall, who Seattle released last week.
With the reunion with Surratt, the Seahawks have brought back 10 players who were set to be free agents this offseason, while five have left the Super Bowl champs for other teams.
The 28-year-old Surratt made 11 combined tackles in 11 games for Seattle last season. Prior to joining the Seahawks in 2025, Surratt broke into the NFL as a third-round NFL Draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and spent the following three seasons with the New York Jets. He also spent time last summer with the San Francisco 49ers.
Surratt, a former college quarterback at North Carolina, missed the final six games of the 2025 regular season with an ankle injury. He was designated to return to practice during the playoffs and was activated in early February, but was on Seattle’s inactives list for the Super Bowl.
The 6-foot-2, 233-pound Surratt is a key special teams player, having played 160 snaps on special teams for the Seahawks last season to just seven on defense. He played a career-high 137 snaps on defense in 2024 while with the New York Jets.
