Seahawks Consider Aaron Jones as Running Back Solution

0:00On March 4th, the Seattle Seahawks face a big decision at running back as Kenneth Walker, the third heads into free agency. Fans and teammates hope the team resigns him after his Super Bowl MVP performance, but a huge contract offer elsewhere could pull him away. If that happens, the Seahawks might turn to veteran Aaron Jones as a short-term fix. Zach Sharbanay's recent ACLT are means he'll miss most of next season and won't return until late in the 2026-27 campaign. Leaving a major gap behind quarterback Sam Darnold, Walker could command top dollar, forcing Seattle to get creative. Many around the team see Jones as a reliable bridge option at age 31. He thrived in his first year with Minnesota, rushing for 1,138 yards and five touchdowns, though he dipped to five. 148 yards and two scores and 12 games last season. Jones brings four seasons of over 1,000 rushing yards, a career average of 4.2 yards per carry, and strong skills as a receiving.

1:03Back, his consistency could steady the offense while Sharbanay heals and the team eyes the draft. Pairing Jones with Darnold would provide a proven handoff and pass-catching threat, keeping Seattle's attack rolling through the transition year.
