The Seahawks tendered exclusive rights free agent Brady Russell on Friday in order to secure his rights for the 2025 season.
Russell is one of four exclusive rights free agents this offseason along with linebacker Josh Ross, outside linebacker Joshua Onujiogu and receiver Cody White. Exclusive rights free agents are players whose contract has expired and who have two or fewer accrued seasons. Once a team has tendered an exclusive rights free agent, that player can only sign with that team. The Seahawks have until the start of the new league year Wednesday to tender additional exclusive rights free agents and restricted free agent receiver Jaelon Darden (Seattle's other restricted free agent, cornerback Josh Jobe, re-signed on Thursday).
Any exclusive rights or restricted free agent not tendered by the start of the new league year will become unrestricted free agents.
Russell, who signed with the Seahawks in 2023, has appeared in 26 games over the past two seasons—he was limited to 11 last year due to a foot injury—and established himself a core special teams player, recording a team-high 10 special teams tackles last season and seven in 2023.
