There’s one Seattle Seahawks star who has been the frequent subject of recent trade rumors.
That’s running back Kenneth Walker.
Another writer, Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder, has hopped aboard the Walker trade train, too.
He thinks the Seahawks should specifically trade Walker in exchange for future draft assets.
“Walker is entering a contract year and has had declining production since his rookie season,” Holder writes. “Meanwhile, Zach Charbonnet was more efficient in 2024, averaging half a yard more per carry than Walker. Also, Damien Martinez has the makings of being a steal as a seventh-round pick. The Seahawks might want to see how the running backs look in training camp before being completely comfortable making a move. But, especially if he doesn’t have a future with the club, getting something for the 2022 second-round pick wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Nothing Holder says is wrong.
It really just sums up the modern plight of the RB. By the time it’s your turn to get paid, you’re being moved on from.
There’s almost no chance the Seahawks give Walker a hefty contract, so moving on now might really be the correct call.
