Seattle Seahawks re-sign veteran Pro Bowl safety with over 802 career tackles – a move head coach Mike Macdonald called “absolutely necessary” as the defense continues to get thinner due to injuries.
Seattle, Washington – November 26, 2025
The Seattle Seahawks made a crucial, season-defining decision by bringing back a former Pro Bowl safety who has recorded more than 802 career tackles and once served as the backbone of Seattle’s defense. With injuries ravaging the roster, head coach Mike Macdonald described the move as something that “couldn’t wait another second.”
Seattle enters the week with a growing injury list, losing multiple defensive starters and facing the possibility of safety Ty Okada — who has been outstanding all season — landing on IR. The looming threat of a weakened secondary forced the Seahawks to find someone who could immediately stabilize the unit and provide veteran leadership.
And they turned back to a name Seattle never truly forgot.
After requesting his release from the Tennessee Titans to seek real playing time, the former Pro Bowl safety became an instant target for the Seahawks. The news of his return even surfaced in the most unexpected way — through a humorous social media post by a family member, much to the delight and relief of Seahawks fans.
Head coach Mike Macdonald didn’t hide his satisfaction with the reunion.
“Sometimes injuries hit you like a storm and wipe out everything you planned for the season. In those moments, you need someone who doesn’t just play football — you need someone who can lift an entire defense back to its feet. He brings the calm, the toughness, and the experience we’re craving more than ever.”
With 802 tackles, 18 interceptions, and years of high-level play in Seattle, he’s expected to solidify the centerfield role and steady a defense that has been pushed to its limits. He no longer needs to carry the entire unit as he once did, but his presence gives Seattle exactly what it needs to stay intact during the most pivotal stretch of the season.
As the playoff race tightens, the Seahawks haven’t just signed a player — they’ve brought back a leader, a familiar heartbeat, and a piece of defensive DNA the franchise has always valued.
And that name, as every Seahawks fan knows, is Quandre Diggs.
