Seattle Seahawks sign Wisconsin tight end as undrafted free agent

Wisconsin tight end Lance Mason signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, per Aaron Wilson, landing an NFL opportunity after a one-year run in Madison that still produced all-conference recognition.

Mason earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the league’s coaches in 2025, a notable finish for a player who spent only one season in the program. In a Wisconsin offense that has leaned heavily on tight ends across eras, Mason’s quick impact stood out as he carved out a role substantial enough to draw attention from NFL evaluators despite going unselected.

For the Badgers, Mason’s deal with Seattle continued a familiar pipeline: Wisconsin has long marketed the tight end spot as a pro-ready position, built on physicality, blocking value, and route work over the middle. Mason’s All-Big Ten nod underscored that he fit that profile quickly, turning a short stint in the program into a résumé line that translates to an NFL camp setting.

In Seattle, Mason will enter a crowded offseason competition where undrafted signees typically need to earn their way through special teams and assignment-sound practice reps. Wisconsin fans will watch next to see whether Mason can stick through rookie minicamp and training camp as the Badgers’ latest tight end to push for a roster spot.
