Seahawks agree to a 2-year contract with fullback and special teams captain Brady Russell

SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks moved to secure a key locker-room presence and versatile contributor on Thursday, agreeing to terms with fullback and special teams captain Brady Russell on a two-year contract. The deal, announced by the club, keeps the 25-year-old in Seahawks blue through at least the 2025 season.

Russell arrived in Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and quickly carved out a role on both offense and special teams, earning the trust of teammates and coaches alike. His promotion to special teams captain last season underscored his value beyond the stat sheet, as he consistently delivered critical blocks on return and coverage units while serving as a lead blocker in short-yardage situations.

The two-year pact rewards Russell’s developmental arc and special-teams excellence, ensuring continuity in a phase of the game the Seahawks have long prioritized. Terms were not disclosed, but the agreement signals Seattle’s confidence in Russell’s ability to maintain his dual-role impact.

Seattle now retains one of its core special-teams leaders as the franchise continues retooling its roster heading into the upcoming campaign.
