The Seahawks have agreed to a deal to bring back special teams ace Nick Bellore, a source confirms. Bellore, who made the Pro Bowl in 2020 and turns 34 in May, will be back for a fifth season in Seattle. @Stu_Court and @adamdnathan were on this first.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to re-sign fullback Nick Bellore, according to Brady Henderson at ESPN.
Bellore (33) is perhaps the most versatile player on Seattle’s roster. He is usually listed as a fullback but he has also put in time at linebacker. Special teams is where he does his best work, though. This past season he was on the field for 352 special teams snaps – 81% of the team’s total.
Bellore is the second signing for the Seahawks in as many days – they have also re-signed guard Phil Haynes to a one-year deal.
The length and financial details of Bellore’s new contract have not been reported as of yet.
Update:
The team has announced Bellore’s extension. It’s a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, Mike Garafolo at NFL Network reports the deal is worth $6.6 million total.
Nick Bellore’s deal is for $6.6 million over two years, with $3.75m this season. A nice pay bump from $2.15m in 2022 for the player the #Seahawks’ press release termed their “special teams captain/linebacker/fullback/comedian.” https://t.co/KbJcwu68Ia
