Overview
- General manager John Schneider said running back is “a position that you can find guys,” expressing confidence in George Holani and recent signee Emanuel Wilson while noting Cam Akers and Kenny McIntosh are in the mix.
- Zach Charbonnet had ACL surgery in late February and could miss the start of 2026, increasing the need to supplement the rotation early in the season.
- Kenneth Walker III departed for the Chiefs on a three-year, $43.05 million deal after Seattle declined to enter a bidding war to retain him.
- ESPN reported Seattle added Wilson on a one-year deal and did not make a serious run at Tyler Allgeier as the team targets speed in the draft to replace Walker’s big-play element.
- Analysts have highlighted mid-round draft options such as Arkansas’ Mike Washington Jr. and Washington’s Jonah Coleman, while one report floated Tony Pollard as a potential veteran fit only if he were to become available.
