The Seahawks are in need of a starting running back, and their search could lead them to a Pro Bowler.
One of the big roster decisions the Seattle Seahawks have to make in the coming weeks is to figure out what to do with their running back room.
With Kenneth Walker now in Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet recovering from his ACL injury, the options at Brian Fleury's disposal aren't exactly great as things stand.
Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Kenny McIntosh are the three who, if a game were played today, would likely be the Seahawks' three-pronged attack.
We know that the Seahawks have been mocked for taking a running back in the first round, with Jadarian Price or Mike Washington Jr., but what if the franchise looks outside the draft for its next back?
We know Najee Harris had a visit with Seattle, and now the Super Bowl champs have been linked with an AFC Pro Bowl running back.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton has named the Seahawks as a possible landing spot for Miami Dolphins back De'Von Achane.
"They lost Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, and Zach Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL,” Moton wrote. “Seattle signed Emanuel Wilson, who was the Green Bay Packers' No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs over the last two seasons.
"The Seahawks only have four 2026 draft picks, though they still have three top-100 selections. Considering the club's $32.9 million in cap space, it has the resources to acquire De'Von Achane and sign him to a lucrative extension. With Achane in the backfield, Seattle wouldn't need to rush Charbonnet back to action. Sharing the field together, they could lead a top-five rushing attack."
We know that Miami general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan's thoughts on Achane, stating he is not available for trade as the Dolphins go through a full reset.
But of course he would say that. He isn't going to announce it to the world that his Pro Bowler is on the market. Miami needs to get the best possible deal.
Could the Seahawks entice Miami? It doesn't have the draft capital that the Dolphins would want, but could a second-round pick plus a sweetener for Achane get it done?
Seattle needs a proper leader for the running back room, and while Charbonnet might be that eventually, the fact that he's likely going to miss the early part of the season means a veteran might have to come in.
And Achane, behind Seattle's offensive line and Sam Darnold? That's not a bad way to go.
