Anthony Bradford’s future in Seattle is still hanging in the balance, and for now, the Seahawks haven’t given him any sign that a new deal is coming.
The fourth-year lineman said on 93.3 KJR Radio that the team has not approached him about a contract extension, even though he made it clear where he wants to be.
“There’s nowhere else I would rather be,” he said. “I feel like my heart and soul is in Seattle. I feel like I am a Seahawk.”
Bradford has become one of the more complicated roster conversations in Seattle. He’s not the flashiest name in the Seahawks’ extension picture, especially with Devon Witherspoon front and center, but he is a player the team appears to value. Mike Macdonald has praised Bradford more than once and has pointed to the team’s internal metrics that suggest he’s a very good player.
That doesn’t automatically mean Seattle sees him as part of the long-term core, but it does explain why the possibility is even on the table. If the Seahawks were going to make a move, getting it done before Bradford’s next season would make sense from a cost standpoint.
Still, Bradford’s own comments point in a different direction. The Seahawks have not opened extension talks, and that strongly suggests they plan to move into the season with the contract as it stands.
Bradford has certainly logged the work to feel connected to the team. He’s played plenty of football for Seattle over the last three years, including 98% of the regular season snaps in 2025. But in a salary cap league, familiarity alone doesn’t guarantee a new contract.
Seattle’s current priority list helps explain the situation. The team is focused on extending stars such as Devon Witherspoon and Leonard Williams, and it has already locked up Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Charles Cross, and Abraham Lucas. Bigger decisions are still ahead too, with Byron Murphy, AJ Barner, Grey Zabel, Nick Emmanwori, and Sam Darnold all coming up.
That kind of roster math has real consequences. It’s part of why the Seahawks let contributors like Ken Walker, Coby Bryant, and Boye Mafe leave in the offseason.
Bradford fits more naturally into that tier than the one above it, which makes his extension case harder to sell. He may feel like a Seahawk, but that doesn’t mean the Seahawks are ready to treat him like a priority.

Anthony Bradford Just Made His Seahawks Feelings Clear Amid Guard Battle
Anthony Bradfords place in Seattle is getting more interesting by the day, and not just because of the new faces the Seahawks have brought into the guard competition. With the team adding draft picks up front, Bradford is trying to hold onto his spot while also making it clear he has more on his mind than just the next snap. He said he has not yet been approached about a contract extension, but his preference is obvious: he wants to stay in Seattle.
Bradfords comments fit the moment well. The Seahawks are sorting through a crowded battle inside, and the guard room is one of the spots where performance this summer could shape more than just the depth chart. For Bradford, the message was simple enough if an offer ever comes, he would be open to a long-term deal, which leaves his future tied to how he handles the competition in front of him. [Read more 🡒]
Jake Bobos Return Puts New Pressure On Seahawks Receiver Battle
Jake Bobo was back on the practice field Monday after missing nearly two weeks with a hamstring injury, and his return lands at a busy point in Seahawks camp. Bobo has long been more than just a name on a receiver depth chart for Seattle, where his blocking and experience have helped him carve out a regular roster spot even when the box score has not always done the talking.
His absence created a real opening for the rest of the wideout group, giving Ricky White III, Cody White, Montrorie Foster Jr. and Emmanuel Henderson extra chances to work with the offense and show what they can do before the preseason games begin. Those reps matter in a camp battle like this, especially for the younger receivers trying to separate themselves while Bobo works back into the mix. [Read more 🡒]
Jalen Milroe Just Landed A Bigger Seahawks Opportunity Than Expected
Jalen Milroe enters the Seahawks 2026 preseason as the third quarterback on the depth chart, which normally would point to a fairly limited role behind the veterans. But preseason is still where young passers can change the conversation, and Seattle has reason to keep a close eye on how Milroe handles his reps. He is expected to play primarily in exhibition action, the kind of stage that can look routine on paper but carry real weight for a player trying to carve out a longer-term path.
Mike Macdonald has already hinted the team may take a different approach this year with how it distributes quarterback snaps, which opens the door for more work than Milroe might have otherwise expected. He was the Seahawks most used quarterback in the 2025 preseason, and if he gets another meaningful run now, his performance could help shape how the team thinks about its future at the position.
