Seahawks' Running Back Dilemma: Draft or Free Agency?

About this episode

The Seattle Seahawks are focusing on building a Super Bowl contender, but their running back group needs improvement. With Kenneth Walker III joining the Kansas City Chiefs and Zach Charbonnet recovering from a torn ACL, the team added Emanuel Wilson as a backup. George Holani could handle passing downs, but the team lacks a primary running back. The front offices free agency moves suggest trust in Charbonnets return, and drafting a running back in the first three rounds is likely. As training camp approaches, filling this gap could significantly impact their run game momentum.

For the NFL, it's March 20th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Seattle Seahawks are pushing to build a Super Bowl contender, but their running-back group needs work heading into the season. Kenneth Walker III is now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonne is still recovering from a torn ACL he got in the playoffs. The team added Emmanuel Wilson after he was let go by the Green Bay Packers, but he's more of a backup type. George Holani could handle some passing downs as a third option, yet they lack a main guy to carry the load right away. Front office moves in free agency, pointed trust in Charbonne stepping up as the lead back once he's healthy. Seattle's a hot spot for players, so skipping a big name free agent runner says a lot about their plans. Draft talk is heating up too, with three picks in the first three rounds. Grabbing a running-back there looks likely, especially since Charbonne hits free agency after the 2026 season. As training camp nears, filling that early gap could make or break their run-game momentum.
