The Seattle Seahawks are not viewed as a serious suitor for an All-Pro running back who has been the subject of trade speculation, according to a report from Heavy.com. The news comes as Seattle prepares for its Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High on October 15, 2026.
Head coach Mike Macdonald was photographed on the sidelines during the Broncos game, but the organization has not been linked aggressively to the running back market despite ongoing league-wide discussions ahead of the trade deadline. The identity of the All-Pro running back in question was not specified in the report.
Seattle's current backfield situation and salary-cap constraints may factor into the team's apparent reluctance to pursue a high-profile acquisition at the position. The Seahawks entered the 2026 season with a committee approach at running back under Macdonald's first year at the helm.
