Robertson-Harris, a 31-year-old Northern California native, went undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft before signing with the Chicago Bears, the team responsible for handing the Jaguars their fifth loss of the season in London on Sunday.
He remained in Chicago until 2021 when he signed a three-year, $23 million deal with the Jags.
On Feb. 25, 2023, he signed a three-year, $30 million extension with the team to remain under contract through the 2026 season.
Across 54 games wearing the teal and black, Robertson-Harris compiled 123 tackles and 11.5 sacks, including two this season. In 2023, he registered 3.5 sacks, setting a career-high mark in that category.
Roberston-Harris goes from a Jaguars team at the bottom of the league to a Seahawks team currently tied with the San Francisco 49ers for the top spot in the NFC West.
