Contract details have not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A seventh-round pick out of Lenoir-Rhyne, Young never really had much of a role in Seattle\u2019s offense, catching four passes on six targets over 42 games played. However, he did feature quite a bit on special teams, including as a kick returner in 2025. While Young averaged 32.2 yards per return, his marquee moment as a Seahawk was recovering Xavier Smith\u2019s muffed punt in the NFC Championship win over the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With Young\u2019s departure, the only unsigned Seahawks free agents are linebacker Chazz Surratt and wide receiver Cody White. Surratt entered the offseason as an unrestricted FA, whereas White was not tendered as a restricted FA. Young joins Coby Bryant, Boye Mafe, Kenneth Walker III, and Riq Woolen (all members of the 2022 draft class) as Seahawks who\u2019ve left for another team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak has landed his first Seattle Seahawks player of the offseason.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":809507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,6,238,237,261,6545,718,719,2635],"class_list":{"0":"post-809506","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-seahawks","11":"tag-seattle","12":"tag-seattle-seahawks","13":"tag-seattle-seahawks-free-agency","14":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news","15":"tag-seattle-seahawks-offseason-news","16":"tag-seattleseahawks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116220239211612293","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/809507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
