Seahawks bring back cornerback Josh Jobe on a 3-year deal, AP source says

SEATTLE (AP) — The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and cornerback Josh Jobe have agreed to a three-year contract, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Jobe, 27, spent the last two seasons with the Seahawks after starting his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He signed with Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama.

Jobe started a career-high 15 games for Seattle last season. He had 12 passes defensed, an interception and 54 tackles. He is one of the few free agents Seattle has retained, joining linebacker Drake Thomas, who signed a two-year deal on Thursday.

The Seahawks parted ways with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker on Monday. The running back agreed to a three-year deal worth up to $45 million with the Kansas City Chiefs, a person familiar with the negotiations told the AP.
