Should Seahawks trade for Jonathan Taylor? Pros, cons for reigning champions to add Colts superstar - CBS Sports

CBS Sports evaluates whether the Super Bowl LX champion Seattle Seahawks should pursue Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The proposal hinges on a contrast: Seattle’s run game has struggled after Kenneth Walker III left following the title, while Taylor has topped 1,500 yards from scrimmage in each of his last three healthy seasons, including 1,963 last year, with 20 total touchdowns. Seattle’s backfield has rotated with Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani, but none have delivered; each of the three lost fumbles, contributing to Seattle ranking last in rushing expected points added and 27th in rushing success rate. The article notes that Zach Charbonnet is returning and has no NFL fumbles, yet he hasn’t been used like a bell cow and may not replicate Walker’s explosive role. It also cites NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport saying Taylor would have many suitors and a high price, with connections potentially aided by interim GM Ed Dodds’ Seattle background.
