Josh Jobe, the former Alabama standout, has inked a 3-year, $24 million extension with the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. This move solidifies Jobe's place in Seattle's formidable secondary, a unit he helped anchor during their Super Bowl LX run.
Last season, Jobe was a defensive force, showcasing his skills with 1 interception and 12 pass deflections over 16 games. His performance drew attention from multiple teams across the league, but Seattle made sure to keep their talented cornerback in the fold.
Jobe's journey from college star to NFL mainstay is impressive. At Alabama, from 2018 to 2021, he was a key player, especially during their 2020 national championship season. That year, he tallied 55 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks, proving himself as a dynamic defensive asset.
With this extension, the Seahawks are banking on Jobe continuing to play a pivotal role in their defense. His blend of collegiate success and professional prowess makes him a cornerstone for Seattle as they look to build on their recent successes.
