The trio of wideouts includes Tyrone Broden, Montorie Foster, and Ricky White III. Broden is a 6-foot-4 receiver who played at Bowling Green and Arkansas and previously spent time on Seattle’s practice squad. Foster, a former Michigan State playmaker, also joins the futures group after his stint with the practice squad. The most notable name is Ricky White III, a UNLV product who posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons; he had 88 catches for 1,483 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023 and was selected by Seattle in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
In addition to the three receivers, Seattle signed 12 more players to futures contracts: running backs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr.; tackle Logan Brown; cornerback Tyler Hall; safeties Maxen Hook and Federico Maranges; linebackers Chris Paul Jr., Jamie Sheriff, Ja’Markis Weston; defensive tackles J.R. Singleton and Bubba Thomas; and center Jacardia Wright. These signings bring Seattle’s early 2026 plan into focus by preserving opportunities for several young players.
NFL futures contracts allow teams to secure players for the upcoming season without counting against the 53-man limit or current-year salary cap. The deals take effect with the start of the next league year, and players are placed on the reserve/futures list, where they can’t be signed by other teams.
Overall, the moves give the Seahawks the first opportunity to retain a broad group of young talent for 2026, continuing a strategy of building depth from the practice squad into the regular-season roster. The announcement also highlights Seattle’s ongoing employee decisions on the coaching staff, with reports that the team may promote from within to replace offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
On the coaching front, rumors point to an internal promotion as Seattle looks to fill the offensive coordinator role, with The News Tribune’s Gregg Bell reporting that Seahawks and coach Mike Macdonald are nearing a hire from within the current staff to replace Kubiak. The development reflects Seattle’s preference for continuity as it plans for the post-Super Bowl season while integrating the new futures signings.
