Seahawks Seek Budget RBs After Walker's Exit

0:00On March 9th, Kenneth Walker III has signed a big contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the Seattle Seahawks searching for a new lead, running back. Seattle's general manager, John Schneider, wasn't about to pay Walker's projected $13 million a year, sticking to his plan of not overspending on that position. Their salary cap space now opens up affordable choices to fill the gap. Last season, the Seahawks ranked high in rushing yards and points scored, so keeping a strong ground game matters. Fans and analysts see this as a chance to build around Zack Sharbanay, whose do-back mid-season after a knee injury. Teams might chase pricier options like Travis Etienne, but Seattle could target solid backups such as Rico Doudal or Tiller Aljir, both around six, and a half million dollars. The NFL Draft also offers speedsters like Mike Washington Jr. at Pick 64. With smart low-cost moves, the Seahawks can stay competitive on offense without breaking the bank.
