Seahawks' Running Back Options in 2026

0:00NFL stories making news on March 10th. The Seattle Seahawks face a thin running back group heading into 2026. Right now, they'd star George Holani, who has fewer than 100 career scrimmagearts in the regular season. Often injured Kenny McIntosh shits behind him. That's a tough spot for a teen that wants to pound the ball early and often. Free agency offers slim pickings, but Brian Robinson Jr. tops the list. Reports say the Seahawks are zeroing in on him. New offensive coordinator Brian Flurry knows him from a prior staff, and he fits a shanty hand style scheme decently. He's not a star, but available at a fair price for a solid platoon role. Fans have mixed takes on other options like Rashad White from Tampa Bay. He's more of a pass catching back with average speed and cutting skills. Last year, he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry on a full load behind a strong line. Meanwhile, Keaton Mitchell from Baltimore draws buzz as a sleeper.

1:00The Ravens let him walk as a restricted free agent. His 489 scrimmagearts in 2023 mark his best, but injuries have held him back. He brings real speed that stands out among free agents, perfect for outside runs. If the Seahawks seek a kin walker type without breaking the bank, Mitchell could surprise and add that spark to the backfield. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor.
