Pro Bowl star with over 10,000 career yards expresses desire to join Seahawks after becoming a free agent. Willing to give up everything to team up with WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba one last time before ending his career.

Seattle, Washington. 22/11/2025

The NFL was genuinely shaken on Thursday morning when a Pro Bowl star with more than 10,000 career receiving yards publicly declared his desire to join the Seattle Seahawks shortly after entering free agency. What surprised many was not the timing. but the choice itself. Instead of chasing a Super Bowl contender or seeking one final lucrative contract. he chose Seattle. the place where he hopes to write the final chapter of a career that has spanned more than a decade.

According to multiple league sources. the veteran receiver received interest from at least four strong teams across both the AFC and NFC. Yet his answer remained unchanged. He wanted Seattle. a decision described as emotional and deeply meaningful. The biggest motivation stemmed from his desire to line up beside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. the rising young star who has quickly become the future of the franchise.

A source revealed that during a private meeting lasting nearly an hour. the Pro Bowl veteran spoke with conviction and genuine emotion.

“I have played this game long enough to understand what truly matters. To finish my career next to a talent like Jaxon is something I do not want to miss. If I have to sacrifice money. sacrifice my role. or sacrifice anything to make that happen. I will. I want to be part of what Seattle is building while I still have something to give.”

His words spread rapidly across social media. sending a wave of excitement through Seahawks Nation. It is not often that a Pro Bowl-caliber player voluntarily chooses Seattle as his preferred destination. even rarer when he openly states he is willing to give up everything for the chance to stand alongside a young star he believes in.

With JSN’s rapid rise. the impressive development of Seattle’s young offensive core. and the modern up-tempo philosophy head coach Mike Macdonald is building. Seattle has become more appealing than ever. Adding a player like Brandin Cooks. who has accumulated more than 10,000 yards over his career. would bring leadership. stability. and experience to a unit on the verge of taking a major step forward.

Seattle has not confirmed any official negotiations. but if this move becomes a reality. it would mark an emotional final chapter to Brandin Cooks’ remarkable career and open a hopeful new direction for the Seahawks.

And Cooks is ready. Ready to sacrifice. ready to contribute. and ready to end his career in Seattle—right beside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. where he believes his story is meant to close.

US Destroys Iran's Attack Capabilities as Iranian Military Showcases Weapon Strength
The ongoing military standoff between the United States and Iran has escalated further, as the US claims to have destroyed several key Iranian military targets, while Iran continues to showcase its advanced weapons to assert its military power. In one of the latest developments, a submarine of the Iranian Navy was destroyed by US forces using the short-range ATACM ballistic missile as part of Operation Epic Fury. This move is part of the US strategy to weaken Iran’s military capabilities in the Middle East. Additionally, the US is deploying a landing strike group, including reconnaissance Marines, to bolster its presence in the region. This move comes amidst rising concerns about Iran’s growing military activities. However, Iran is not standing idle. The Iranian military has released videos showing underground tunnels filled with suicide drones, along with secret "firepower city" military facilities. These drones were launched from various locations, both during the day and at night, as part of Tehran’s retaliation against the US and Israel. In addition to the suicide drones, Iran has claimed to possess a massive stockpile of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which could be used to disrupt traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and launch attacks on multiple critical targets across the Gulf region. These weapons are reportedly stored in underground facilities, making it difficult for the US to detect and eliminate Iran’s military capabilities completely. Furthermore, Iran is said to possess explosive-laden unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) designed for suicide attacks on ships. Due to their small size and fast mobility, these USVs are challenging to detect and defend against, especially during nighttime operations. Despite the US claiming to have destroyed Iran’s offensive capabilities, military experts believe Tehran still retains the ability to effectively control the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route. The US has used long-range missiles such as the ATAC MS and PSM in attacks on Iranian military targets, including warships and supply depots. General Dan Ken, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, emphasized the importance of artillery forces in the ongoing operation. He stated that US artillery units, including those from the Army and Marine Corps, have accurately struck several key Iranian targets, including at least one submarine of the Russian-made Kilo class. In the first 13 days of the operation, US artillery achieved a historic milestone by using the PSM missile for the first time in actual combat, deep inside Iranian territory. These actions not only pressure Iran but also have significant ramifications for the Strait of Hormuz, where oil transportation activities could be severely disrupted, leading to oil prices reaching their highest levels since July 2022. The US continues to reinforce its military presence in the Middle East, with additional warships and landing forces expected to carry out further attacks on Iran. However, given Iran’s powerful military capabilities and its control over the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran remains a formidable challenge to US military strategies in the region.
