Just One Hour After Being Released by the Broncos, Conference USA Championship MVP Sends Shockwaves With Public Desire to Join Seahawks — Ready to Sign a “Lifetime Deal” to Chase Super Bowl Glory

Seattle, Washington – 12/17/2025

Less than one hour after the Denver Broncos officially parted ways with him, one of the most eye-catching names to emerge from the college ranks in recent years sent shockwaves through the NFL. The former 2021 Conference USA Championship MVP publicly declared his desire to join the Seattle Seahawks, going as far as saying he is willing to commit long-term to help bring Super Bowl glory back to the Pacific Northwest.

Denver’s decision to release him came quietly, a routine roster adjustment amid late-season shuffling. His response, however, was anything but subtle. Rather than waiting for the market to define his future, he chose to define it himself — and he did so by calling out Seattle as the one destination that truly matters to him.

As the Seahawks continue reshaping their identity under a new coaching vision, the timing of his declaration has not gone unnoticed. Seattle has long been known for its relentless competitive culture, its emphasis on toughness and belief, and its ability to revive careers that stalled elsewhere. Those are exactly the qualities this former college star believes align with who he is — and who he still aims to become.

“I’m not looking for a temporary stop,” he said. “I’m looking for a home. The Seahawks are the team I trust with my career. If given the opportunity, I’d sign a lifetime deal — not for money, but for the chance to help take this organization back to the top of the Super Bowl mountain.”

Winning Conference USA MVP honors in 2021 once made him a national talking point, a symbol of resilience and late-game explosiveness. While his NFL journey has yet to fully match those expectations, league evaluators continue to point to his physical tools, competitive mindset, and professionalism — traits that traditionally thrive in Seattle’s system.

That player, now revealed to be running back Sincere McCormick, finds himself at a defining crossroads. Recently released by Denver, McCormick wasted no time making his intentions clear, framing Seattle not as a fallback option, but as the franchise he believes he can fully commit to — emotionally, professionally, and competitively.

The Seahawks, for now, remain silent. But in a season defined by calculated roster building and future-focused decisions, such an emotional and unequivocal declaration from Sincere McCormick is difficult to ignore. Sometimes the most compelling NFL stories don’t begin with blockbuster trades or draft-day headlines — they begin with a player boldly choosing his own path.

And if Seattle is searching for someone willing to bet everything on the meaning of that jersey, the message has already been delivered — clearly, passionately, and without hesitation.

After Serving His Sentence, Former Raiders First-Round Pick Announces Desire to Join Jacksonville Jaguars — Willing to Start Over as a Rookie Jaguars for a Chance to Return to the NFL
This morning, the NFL world was once again shaken when Henry Ruggs III, the former first-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, spoke out for the first time since completing his sentence — and made a shocking statement that immediately sent ripples through the league. Ruggs, who was once considered one of the fastest and most talented young wide receivers in football, declared that he is determined to continue his career and is solely focused on joining the Jacksonville Jaguars, even if it means starting over completely as a rookie with the team. Now 26 years old, Ruggs spoke with quiet determination, a stark contrast to the excessive scrutiny of his past. “I know what I’ve done, and I know what I’ve lost,” he said through his representative on Tuesday morning. “If I’m allowed to return to the football field, I’m ready to start over. If that means starting as a rookie with the Jaguars, with no guarantees and no promises — I’ll accept it. I just want a chance.” This announcement comes at a critical moment for Jacksonville, a team with a reputation for nurturing young talent and offering fresh starts to those willing to work hard and prove themselves. While the Jaguars have not publicly commented, internal discussions are said to recognize the complexity of the situation: Ruggs' undeniable talent is still evident, but the shadow of the tragic DUI crash in 2021 continues to hover over any team considering him. Despite this, Ruggs remains firm in his desire to join Jacksonville. According to those close to him, he views the Jaguars’ rebuilding culture — driven by the leadership of head coach Doug Pederson and the youth-focused philosophy — as the ideal environment to start anew, both personally and professionally. “If I’m going to fight to come back,” Ruggs said, “I want to do it with a team that’s focused on growth, accountability, and earning every moment. That’s Jacksonville.” NFL analysts quickly pointed out that if the league allows Ruggs to return, his options would likely be limited. The most realistic path for him is to start as a true rookie with the Jaguars, accepting a minimum salary and proving himself from day one. Whether Jacksonville will consider this opportunity remains uncertain. But Ruggs’ statement — driven by humility, a desire for redemption, and the belief that second chances must be earned — has sparked widespread debate: Can a first-round talent who fell from grace truly make his way back in a league that once believed he could be a star? For now, Ruggs is waiting. Training alone. Hoping. And preparing, in his own words, “to start from zero if necessary.”
