The Seattle Seahawks agreed to a rare in-season extension with tight end Eric Saubert on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Seahawks reporter Brady Henderson and NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Saubert signed with Seattle in the offseason, but hasn’t seen much on-the-field action since he suffered a calf injury in Week 7 that sent him to IR. Primarily a blocking tight end, he has only one catch for 12 yards in the seven games he’s played in this season.

The Seahawks brought Saubert over from the San Francisco 49ers, where he played a similar blocking role, appearing in 35% of the 49ers’ offensive snaps in 2024. Notably, Saubert worked with Klay Kubiak, brother of the Seahawks’ current offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, in San Francisco.

Saubert entered the league in 2017 as a fifth-round draft
