Jobe was an undrafted free agent in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he was helpful for the Seahawks in 2025 with 12 passes defended and an interception. Jordan Schultz, an NFL insider, was first to report the news on Monday and the Seahawks announced it as well via social media. The Miami (Fla.) native wanted to remain in Seattle and got his wish.
