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.
