The Seahawks re-signed cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles on Tuesday to bolster their depth at cornerback.
A former fifth-round pick out of Appalachian State, Jean-Charles initially signed with the Seahawks last spring, then spent the 2025 season on the practice squad. Before joining the Seahawks, Jean-Charles spent two seasons with the Packers, who drafted him in 2021, then split the 2023 season between San Francisco and New Orleans before spending the 2024 season with the Saints.
Jean-Charles has appeared in 37 career games with two starts, recording 29 tackles, one interception and two passes defensed.
"The Super Bowl holds a lot of weight, and outside of that, it's a great organization, a great group of guys, and it just feels like a second home for me," Jean-Charles said on his decision to return to Seattle. "I'm excited. Having all the guys back, that's another year of us getting tighter as a group and just building that cohesiveness and being able to go out there and compete every Sunday."
