NFL trade deadline: Saquon Barkley to Seahawks among 10 moves that need to happen

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Seattle Seahawks’ struggles on the ground have intensified, with their rushing attack ranking among the league’s worst in expected points added per carry. The team’s 3-3 start has been defined by an offensive identity crisis, especially after losing Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.

Seattle’s current backfield lacks a proven starter, leaving Zach Charbonnet and rookie Jadarian Price as untested options. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles, reeling from a season of injuries and roster instability, could find a willing trade partner in their star running back, Saquon Barkley.

The Seahawks, in win-now mode and eager to reclaim their Super Bowl aspirations, would need to offer significant draft capital to pry Barkley away from a Philadelphia team seemingly resigned to a down year. The pairing feels like a natural fit—Seattle’s desperate need for a high-impact runner aligns with the Eagles’ willingness to explore moves that could free up cap space and draft assets for future rebuilding efforts.
