Seahawks Target Tyler Allgeier as Kenneth Walker's Replacement

0:00On March 9th, the Seattle Seahawks are bracing to lose running back Kenneth Walker to the Kansas City Chiefs in Free Agency. The team is already zeroing in on a replacement, with eyes on Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Algear as their top target. Algear has seen limited action the past three seasons behind starter B. John Robinson. Still, he's shown real efficiency on the field, including a strong rookie year where he rushed for 1,000 yards. Analysts expect Seattle to pursue him aggressively, now that Walker is on the move. At 25 years old, Augier could carve out a bigger role thanks to the Seahawks' powerful offensive line of front. Meanwhile, Zack Scharbeney should return soon from his torn ACL injury. He could pair up nicely with Algear to create a fresh, dynamic, one-two punch in the backfield. This move would help Seattle rebuild their ground game quickly and stay competitive in the NFC West.
