Shell, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Jets back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.57 million contract with New York and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract with the Seahawks. 

Shell had been testing the free agent market again in 2022. 

In 2021, Shell appeared in 10 games for the Seahawks, making 10 starts for them at right tackle.
