Seahawks Target Montgomery Trade

0:00On March 1st, the Seattle Seahawks are still basking in their Super Bowl's 60 victory, but the 2026 offseason brings tough choices at, running back. Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, looks headed for free agency with strong interest from teens like the Texans, likely chasing a big, contract elsewhere. NFL rumors point to Seattle targeting a trade with the Detroit Lions for David Montgomery as a replacement. The 28-year-old back has a team-friendly deal, owing just $6 million next year, and Detroit seems open to moving him for a late-round pick like a fifth-rounder. Montgomery's role shrank in Detroit last season, where he managed just 158 carries for 716 yards and eight. Touchdowns, his least productive year yet. Lions' general manager Brad Holmes has said they'll find the right fit for his skills, whether staying or leaving. In Seattle, Montgomery could step right into a starting spot alongside Zach Charbonnet, who's recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the playoffs.
