Seahawks' Running Back Dilemma: Top Offseason Priority

On March 15th, the Seattle Seahawks wrote a stellar defense in Kenneth Walker III's playoff heroics to a Super Bowl victory.

But now there.

Facing a tough rebuild at Running Back, Walker just signed a three-year deal worth $45 million with the Kansas City Chiefs,

leaving a huge gap in their backfield.

Zack Sharbenay, their promising young runner, suffered a torn ACL during the playoffs, putting even more pressure on the position heading into the season.

To help fill the void, the Seahawks grabbed the manual Wilson off the Green Bay Packers practice squad for $2 million.

Analysts like Michael Sean Dugor from the Athletic Call Running Back, the team's top priority this off season,

even with Wilson and a depth group, including Kenny McIntosh, Cam Acres, and others.

General manager John Schneider admitted they love their current options, but plans to keep shopping around.

The free agent pool looks thin, with names like Joe Mixin, Najee Harris, and Nick Chubb available, but no clear standout.

Sharbenay should return eventually, yet the uncertainty means Seattle must land a reliable starter soon, amid a weak draft class too.

As they eye-trades in late-round picks, the Seahawks backfield puzzle remains front and center, testing their championship momentum early.
