On April 25, after two days of the 2026 NFL draft, a few teams still need to beef up their run games and vets like Najee Harris and Kareem Hunt are sitting out there ready to sign. Top rookies like Jeremiah Love, to the Cardinals, to Darian Price to the Seahawks and K-Long Black to the 49ers are off the board, leaving, spots open for experienced backs. Teams missed out on drafting more at the position, so now they're eyeing free agents this off season. Harris, who turns 28 this year, tore his Achilles early last season with the chargers after four straight thousand yard years in Pittsburgh. He visited the Seahawks and Raiders back in March. The Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs and have Zack Sharbenay leading the pack, even after grabbing price. They might want a vets of pair with. Him short-term. Over in Vegas, the Raiders could ease the load on rookie Aston John T, who carried the ball heavy last year. Meanwhile, Kareem Hunt, hitting 31 in August, balled out for the Chiefs last season with

611 yards and eight scores on one. 163 carries. Kansas City grabbed Walker, but lost Isaiah Pacheco, so a reunion makes sense to back up their depth. Raiders could grab Hunt too, especially with Rahim Moster hitting free agency. They need someone to spell John T after his massive rookie workload. Projections have both guys on one year deals around 3 million for Harris and 2 million for Hunt, but health and workouts will decide where they land next. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage.
