Former Spain Park High School standout Michael Jackson has re-signed with the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL team announced on Monday.

Jackson was a restricted free agent after the Seahawks placed an original-round tender on him last month.

A restricted free agent is an NFL player with an expiring contract who has three accrued seasons of league experience.

By tendering Jackson, Seattle kept him from becoming an unrestricted free agent and guaranteed him a salary of $3.039 million for the 2024 season if he re-signed with the team.

Jackson still could negotiate with other teams, but by tendering the cornerback, the Seahawks retained the right to match any better offer he received or to get a fifth-round draft pick from the team that signed Jackson.

Jackson was a fifth-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2019.

In 2023, Jackson played in every game, with four starts, for Seattle. He made 34 tackles, registered two tackles for loss and broke up five passes while playing 472 defensive snaps. Jackson also had a career-high 236 special-teams plays last season.

Jackson entered the NFL from Miami (Fla.) and played 29 defensive snaps in four games in his first three seasons.

But in 2022, Jackson started every game for Seattle and played 1,082 defensive snaps. He made 75 tackles, intercepted one pass and broke up 11 more. In Seattle’s 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 18, 2022, Jackson scored his first NFL touchdown when he picked up a blocked field-goal attempt and ran 86 yards.

In 2022, opposing quarterbacks had a 75.1 passing-efficiency rating when throwing against Jackson. Among the NFL players who were targeted at least 85 times in 2022, Jackson yielded the eighth-lowest completion percentage and the sixth-lowest yards-per-pass average in 2022.

In response, the Seahawks signed Jackson to a one-year, $940,000 contract last offseason. Then Seattle used the fifth choice in the 2023 NFL Draft on cornerback Devon Witherspoon and started him in Jackson’s 2022 spot.
