The Seahawks locked up a key piece of their defense ahead of the start of the new league year, signing cornerback Josh Jobe to a multi-year deal on Tuesday.
"It means a lot," Jobe said of securing a multi-year deal to stay with the Seahawks. "Throughout my years in the NFL, it's been hard for me. Since going undrafted, I've overcome a lot of adversity. This deal means a lot, and I'm excited to be back."
Jobe, who began his Seahawks career as a member of the practice squad in 2024 before working his way into a starting role, embodies Mike Macdonald's and John Schneider's emphasis on the 70-man roster, not the 53, meaning the players on the practice squad, not just the active roster, are crucial to the team's success.
Jobe, who went undrafted out of Alabama in 2022, spent his first two seasons with the Eagles, appearing in 28 games with three starts, before joining the Seahawks practice squad before the start of the 2024 season. Jobe earned a promotion to the 53-man roster midway through that season, appearing in 10 games with six starts, then in 2025 he became a regular starter, making 15 starts while playing 78 percent of the team's defensive snaps, sharing playing time with Riq Woolen.
Jobe's 2025 season included 12 passes defensed, one interception, 54 tackles, two quarterback hits and half a sack. Jobe also started all three postseason games on the way to a championship, including a strong performance in Super Bowl LX that included seven tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass defensed.
For the season, Jobe allowed the fourth lowest completion percentage in the NFL (minimum 50 targets), according to NFL Next Gen Stats, with opponents completing just 47.7 percent of passes with Jobe in coverage. Jobe also allowed the fourth fewest yards per target (5.4) among outside corners, minimum 50 targets.
"Jobe, what a story for him," safety Julian Love said as Seahawks players cleaned out their lockers two days after their Super Bowl win. "Last year, P-squad, getting his shot, earning his spot, and just playing great ball for us last year and this year. He's probably the most unsung person in our secondary, for sure, just what he brought to the table."
Love later elaborated, explaining the importance of Jobe because of his role in the secondary.
"We put him on islands a lot of the time, just saying, 'All right, it's on you,'" Love said. "You don't have schemes—you can't Mike Macdonald your way through playing corner for us, you've got to man up and play ball. He lines up, he's going to line up this close to these receivers. He had a tall task all year, and he met that task."
