Emanuel Wilson won't replace Kenneth Walker III for Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks need to find a way to replace the production they're losing from running back Kenneth Walker III walking out the door in free agency.

Walker was the Super Bowl MVP for the Seahawks, and he's arguably one of the best running backs in the NFL.

He'll be tough to replace one-to-one, but the Seahawks appear to be trying to do it with a "running back by committee" approach.

Perhaps the first up in that committee will be former Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson, whom the Seahawks are signing to a one-year, $2.1 million deal.

Wilson, 26, was an undrafted free agent out of Fort Valley State. The Packers picked him up in the spring of 2023, and he made Green Bay's initial 53-man roster coming out of training camp.

He slowly but surely made a role for himself in Green Bay's backfield as a backup. These past two seasons, he was the primary backup to Josh Jacobs. In fact, he started two games for the Packers last season while Jacobs was injured.
