K.J. Wright seeking Seahawks reunion: 'I want to go back home'
Free-agent linebacker K.J. Wright would like nothing more than to rejoin the Seattle Seahawks next season.
"I want to go back home," Wright told Trey Wingo on the latest episode of "Half-Forgotten History." "I think it's that simple. Seattle knows I want to come back. They know how much they mean to me."
The 2016 Pro Bowler was an integral member of the Seahawks' defense from 2011-20, helping Seattle win Super Bowl XLVIII.
The former 2011 fourth-rounder left the Seahawks as a free agent last offseason, signing a one-year deal with the Raiders. However, after leaving for Las Vegas by himself in 2021, Wright wants to make sure he and his family stay rooted in Seattle, even if that means he's no longer playing football.
"I don't think I'm going to move my family anywhere else across the country," Wright said. "If it's not Seattle again, I'll be happy, I'll be content."
Wright racked up 51 tackles last season. He's recorded five campaigns of 100-plus tackles and three seasons with 10 or more tackles for loss.
