Seahawks Re-sign Captain Brady Russell

On March 12th, the Seattle Seahawks have resigned full-back Brady Russell for a fourth season,

keeping one of their top special teams performers and team captains.

Russell carries the 12 flag onto the field each Sunday and led the team with 14 special teams

tackles last year. His return adds a physical, versatile presence on offense too,

playing both full-back and tied-in. Coach Mike McDonald praised Russell's leadership from day one,

noting his pride, energy, and unselfish play that inspires the whole unit.

Under Russell's influence, the Seahawks ranked among the NFL's best and special teams,

thanks to strong schemes and all-out effort on every snap.

Fans and players see Russell's resigning as a boost for team morale,

especially after he was named the game captain for Super Bowl 60.

His toughness and love for the games set the tone,

making him a key part of what made their special teams click.

Now, with Russell back, all five Super Bowl captains return,

including Jackson Smith and Jigba, Leonard Williams, and Cooper Cup.

The team only lost two starters from that championship squad running back,

Kenneth Walker, and safety Kobe Bryant, plus two key contributors in outside.

Linebacker Boyet Mayfay and Cornerback Rigg Wullen.

This continuity keeps the core leaders in place heading into the 2026 season,

helping the Seahawks stay hungry and avoid complacency.

After their big win.
