We have a plot twist to Jake Bobo’s future with the Seattle Seahawks.
ESPN’s Field Yates reported on Friday that the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Bobo to an offer sheet (terms undisclosed), as is their right given he’s a tendered restricted free agent. If the Seahawks do not match the offer within five days, Bobo will exit for the AFC South champions.
Bobo was given a right of first refusal tender, valued at $3.51 million on a one-year deal. Unlike first-round, second-round, and original-round tenders, in which unmatched offer sheets result in draft compensation, there is no draft pick attached to the tender Bobo received.
As an undrafted free agent, Bobo cannot get an original-round tender by definition, and as popular among fans as he may be, there was zero chance he would’ve ever gotten a first- or second-round tender.
The Seahawks are now on the clock as far as whether or not there will suddenly be no more Bobo in Seattle.
