There will be #MoroBobo in Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks are matching the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offer sheet to retain restricted free-agent wide receiver Jake Bobo, according to multiple reports on Monday morning.

That means Bobo will remain in Seattle on a two-year, $5.5 million deal that could be worth up to $7 million, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Bobo’s deal includes $4.5 million guaranteed, Pelissero reported.
The Jaguars signed Bobo to an offer sheet this past Friday, giving the Seahawks five days to match the offer. If Seattle didn’t, it would have lost Bobo without receiving any draft pick compensation.
The Seahawks initially placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Bobo on March 11, with the announcement coming just minutes prior to the official start of the NFL’s new league year.
As an undrafted rookie out of UCLA, the 6-foot-4 Bobo was an underdog story who made the Seahawks’ roster out of training camp in 2023 and caught a touchdown pass in his third NFL game. He served as the team’s fourth wide receiver in both 2023 and 2024, totaling 303 receiving yards and three touchdown catches over that span, while also contributing as a special teams mainstay.
This past season, the 27-year-old Bobo saw his playing time decrease. He had just two catches for 20 yards during the regular season, while logging just 117 offensive snaps in 11 games. He missed three games due to injuries and was a healthy scratch for another three games.
However, Bobo came up big during the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run, hauling in a 17-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter of Seattle’s 31-27 NFC Championship game win over the Los Angeles Rams.
This story will be updated with additional information.
