Seahawks tight ends AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo prepare for 2026 season

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to their tight ends AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. AJ Barner contributed significantly last season, recording 52 receptions for 519 yards and six touchdowns, including a key performance in Super Bowl 60. Elijah Arroyo, the team's second-round pick last year, had 15 catches for 179 yards and one touchdown, though injuries limited his playtime. The Seahawks frequently employ two-tight-end sets, presenting opportunities for both players to make an impact. Barner is expected to retain the lead in snaps, having played 827 last season, which was 77.73 percent of the team's offensive plays.
