Seahawks Pursue Harris for RB Boost

Seahawks Lose Kenneth Walker, Need Firepower: Analyst Pushes for Najee Harris Signing

The Seattle Seahawks are facing a significant challenge after losing running back Kenneth Walker to a lucrative contract with another team. With Emanuel Wilson as a temporary replacement, the team is seeking more offensive power. Analyst Gary Davenport from Bleacher Report is advocating for the Seahawks to pursue Pittsburgh Steelers Najee Harris, who has visited Seattle. Harris, a 28-year-old with four consecutive seasons of over 1,000 rushing yards, could fill the void left by Walker. The Seahawks rushing yards per game dropped to 123.3 last year, with nearly half coming from Walker. Harriss market value is around $2.9 million per year, and his experience as a between-the-tackles bruiser makes him an attractive option. A short prove-it deal for Harris, followed by a long-term fix in 2027, could help the Seahawks maintain their championship aspirations.
