Just 1 Hour After Being Released by the Texans, a “Cornerstone” of Super Bowl LIV Expresses Desire to Return to the Seahawks – Willing to Give Up Major Contracts to Lead Seattle Back to the Super Bowl Summit
Seattle, Washington – 12/05/2025
The Seattle Seahawks became the center of the NFL conversation just one hour after a stunning announcement from the Houston Texans: a veteran lineman who played in Super Bowl LIV suddenly signaled his desire to return to Seattle. With the Seahawks battling multiple injuries across the interior offensive line, the timing of his message carried emotional weight no one could have anticipated.
This player once departed Seattle as the organization shifted toward a younger, more athletic offensive line. Yet the growing gaps and instability this season have forced the Seahawks to seriously consider experienced options capable of restoring balance in the trenches. So when a deeply emotional statement surfaced this morning, it immediately reignited a pressing question: would Seattle reopen a door they once chose to close?

“There are things I thought I had buried, but a single moment reminded me that my heart has always belonged to the Seahawks; and if my experience, resilience, and everything I have left can push this team closer to a Super Bowl, then I’m ready to come back — no hesitation, no calculation, just because Seattle deserves to touch that glory.”
Those three lines — powerful, emotional, and deliberately withholding his identity — sent Seahawks fans into a frenzy. Supporters immediately connected the message to the team’s proudest traits: grit, loyalty, and the belief that Seattle is a place players truly want to return to.
And once whispers pointed toward a veteran who owns an All-Pro selection, more than 10,000 career snaps, and a reputation as one of the league’s most durable interior linemen, excitement only grew. In the current state of the roster, his declaration represents more than a personal plea; it hints at a broader vision for Seattle’s Super Bowl ambitions.
While the Seahawks’ front office has remained silent, calls for a reunion have erupted across social media. With the team lacking depth, adding a battle-tested veteran who has survived deep playoff runs is seen as a move that could meaningfully shift the trajectory of the season.
And once the name was revealed, the story became even more striking:
The man asking to return, the veteran willing to give up major contracts just to help Seattle finish a dream left unfinished — is Laken Tomlinson.
