Seahawks News: Do the Seahawks still need to trade for an RB?
After a 20‑3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on October 25, the Seattle Seahawks’ run game finally sparked, highlighted by Emanuel Wilson’s fourth‑quarter touchdown. While Wilson’s numbers look promising, the win raises fresh questions about the depth of Seattle’s backfield: Can rookie Zach Charbonnet reach game speed, will Jadarian Price secure carries, or does the team still need a proven talent like Jonathan Taylor? With left tackle Charles Cross nursing a high‑ankle sprain and the defense continuing to dominate, the Seahawks sit 4‑3 and must decide if a RB trade is essential to sustain momentum.

Adam Schefter: Seahawks among teams ‘expected to consider’ Jonathan Taylor trade
ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the Seattle Seahawks are one of four teams—alongside the Vikings, Packers and Broncos—considering a trade for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor. The 27‑year‑old posted 1,585 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2026, but his contract ramps up to $16 million in 2027 and $18 million in 2028, posing a salary‑cap challenge for John Schneider’s front office.

Why the Seahawks could trade for Quenton Nelson
