This organization gave me a shot in the NFL. I owe my career to this organization, so to be able to stay here and build on what we\u2019ve already built, it means a whole lot for John (Schneider) and the guys upstairs to put some trust in me to help this organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI didn\u2019t want to go anywhere else. Obviously, it looked like there was a shot I was going to end up in Jacksonville, but in the back of my mind, I was hoping the guys upstairs would make something happen, and they did. I was incredibly thankful for that. I knew where I wanted to be, I knew where home was, and I\u2019m definitely glad it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Both sides wanted More Bobo, and they were committed to getting it done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWhen you think about this organization, who the guys are in the locker room, who the staff is upstairs, all of that (playing time\/role) comes secondary to what\u2019s really important, which is, I want to play for this organization, this city, and the guys in the locker room,\u201d Bobo said. \u201cWhen I\u2019m making a decision, that\u2019s where I start, that\u2019s what\u2019s important. If you\u2019re giving me the choice, I\u2019m choosing this place 10 out of 10 times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Other notable figures within the organization have commended Bobo\u2019s efforts on the field, excited to see him return to Seattle for 2026. Following the NFC title game, Sam Darnold noted Bobo\u2019s critical third-down conversion the previous week, but also highlighted the wideout\u2019s other significant contributions in 2025, including his efforts as a blocker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mike Macdonald had similar praise for Bobo, speaking highly about his leadership qualities when asked about his touchdown this postseason. \u201cI\u2019m not surprised. That\u2019s Jake Bobo. That\u2019s the guy we know, we love. A couple weeks ago he was a captain and shows you like the respect that he carries throughout the team and how much we appreciate him, how much we respect him. So for him to make a play in that setting, yeah, you\u2019re just fired up for the guy. Just really happy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Glad to have you back, Bobo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More Bobo is on the menu for the 2026 Seattle Seahawks! \u201cThis is everything you want coming into&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,6,238,237,261,6545,718,719,2635],"class_list":{"0":"post-832727","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\/116289209656315602","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832727","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=832727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
