Seahawks Re-Sign WR Cody White as Retention-Focused Offseason Continues

White returns from a late-season groin injury to vie for a depth role on units Mike Macdonald prizes.

Overview

  • Seattle announced on March 18 that it re-signed wide receiver and special-teams contributor Cody White after he became an unrestricted free agent when not tendered as a restricted free agent.
  • White logged 282 snaps in 10 games last season, scored his first NFL touchdown on a 60-yard catch against Washington, and earned praise from Macdonald as a “special teams stalwart.”
  • A Week 17 groin injury ended his regular season and he missed the playoffs; White says he expects to be close to full speed for OTAs.
  • He will compete for a WR5/6 and special-teams role with candidates including Jake Bobo and Ricky White III, with Tory Horton viewed as the fourth receiver and Dareke Young headed to the Raiders.
  • The move aligns with Seattle’s continuity push after re-signing Rashid Shaheed and tendering Bobo, with Spotrac estimating roughly $40 million in remaining cap space.
