Seahawks Secure CB Josh Jobe, Strengthen Defense

0:00On March 9th, the Seattle Seahawks just secured a key piece of their championship defense by signing Cornerback Josh Job to a three-year deal worth $24 million. This move comes as they head into the newly gear, locking down one of their top defensive backs after a strong 2025 season. Earlier this week, the team lost starting safety, Kobe Bryant to the Chicago Bears and free agency. They still have decisions pending on Cornerback Rick Willand, but bringing back Job avoids a scramble for replacements opposite star Devon Witherspoon. Fans and analysts see this as a smart play for stability. Job, a 27-year-old former undrafted free agent from Alabama, stepped up big last year, with starts and versatility across the secondary, fitting perfectly into head coach Mike McDonald's scheme. The contract ranks Job in the mid-30s per year, among corners, a fair price for a reliable starter. It even edges out Witherspoon's current rookie pay temporarily, though an extension for the All Pro is likely coming soon.
