Saquon Barkley trade rumors: Should the Seahawks trade for the Eagles' running back?

Here are the pros and cons of a Barkley trade for the defending Super Bowl champs The Seattle Seahawks opted not to franchise tag their top running back last season and ended up losing him to free agency. Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP in February and shortly after joined the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the defending champs with big shoes to fill. Running backZach Charbonnetis still recovering from a torn ACL he sustained last season, and rookie first-round pickJadarian Priceis on IR with a chest injury. Injuries aside, the Seahawks don't have the level of talent they did in Walker last season. But one name floating around the trade deadline conversation could fix Seattle's run game woes. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley could find a new home, and the Seahawks are certainly a team that makes sense. Let's take a look at the case for and against trading for Barkley. The Seahawks aren't playing as well as they hoped after theirSuper Bowl win in 2025. The team was sitting at.500 heading into Week 7, and a victory over the Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football" put some spark in their struggling offense. What would give them even more of a spark is a stronger run game.
