Seahawks Scramble for Running Backs After Offseason Losses

On March 12, the Seattle Seahawks are dealing with a tough offseason after losing several key players.

Ric Wullen headed to the Philadelphia Eagles, Boie Mayfay to the Cincinnati Bengals, and

Kobe Bryant to the Chicago Bears.

But the biggest blow came when star running back Kenneth Walker III joined the Kansas

City Chiefs just a month after their Super Bowl run.

Free agency took another hit for Seattle when Rackad White, the top remaining running

back signed with the Washington commanders, that leaves the Seahawks scrambling with few

strong options left on the market.

The team faces a real gabbard running back, especially since Zack Chardonnay is recovering

from a torn ACL.

Fans and analysts worry this could hurt their ground game next season, putting pressure

on the front office stack fast.

The available free agents like Najee Harris, Joe Mixon, and Austin Echler are all coming

off major injuries, while others such as Nick Chubb or Jerome.

Short aren't seen as upgrades.

Some lower tier names like Michael Carter or Damien Pierce might get looks, but they

fall short of Walker's impact.

Trading could be the way forward, perhaps for someone like Tony Pollard from the Tennessee

Titans on a short term deal.

With a weak upcoming draft class, Seattle will likely patch things together and hope

Chardonnay returns strong to rebuild their backfield.
