Seahawks considering trade for running back Kenneth Walker

The Seattle Seahawks are making changes to their roster this offseason. They have already traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Raiders and star wide receiver D.K. Metcalf to the Steelers. Now, there is speculation about a possible trade involving starting running back Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker, who had a tough 2024 season due to health issues, is rumored to be a trade candidate. He is entering the final year of his contract before free agency. Some analysts believe the Los Angeles Chargers could be interested in Walker. They have made some moves to boost their offense but may need another running back. Last season, Walker rushed for 573 yards and scored seven touchdowns in 11 games. He also caught a career-high 46 passes for 299 yards and one touchdown. However, it was the first year he played fewer than 15 games, as he ended the season on injured reserve with an ankle injury. In his rookie season in 2022, Walker had his best performance, gaining over 1,000 rushing yards. If the Seahawks trade him, rookie Zach Charbonnet could step in as the lead running back. Additionally, the upcoming draft is expected to have many talented running backs available for Seattle to consider.
