The Seattle Seahawks face uncertainty at running back after Kenneth Walker III’s departure, as they passed on major opportunities to upgrade via a trade for Breece Hall and instead selected Jadarian Price in the first round. Despite rumored trade interest for Hall, the Jets re-signed him to a three-year, $45.75 million extension, signaling they’re not planning a rebuild around a new deal with Hall but keeping him as a core asset. Analysts noted that the Jets could have demanded substantial draft capital in a potential Hall trade, but the new contract reduces that possibility and leaves Seattle to rely on Price and a returning Zach Charbonnet, who missed time due to injuries last season.
Key takeaways:
– Seattle elected not to pursue Breece Hall after his Jets extension and instead drafted Jadarian Price at No. 32.
– Breece Hall inked a long-term deal with the Jets (3 years, $45.75M), diminishing potential trade moves for Seattle.
– The Seahawks are banking on Jadarian Price to step up, supported by Zach Charbonnet’s return from injury.
