Jonathan Stewart
Stewart is not only the most accomplished running back out of this group (outside of Lynch), he’s also a native of Washington and expressed interest in signing with the team on Twitter shortly after the game.

Stewart attended Oregon and spent 10 years in the NFL, nine with the Panthers, rushing 1,705 times for 7,335 yards and 51 touchdowns. He played in three games with the Giants in 2018, his last NFL action.
Stewart officially retired in April, even signing a one-day contract with Carolina, so it’s not actually clear if he is interested in returning, or if he is in good enough shape to do so on such short notice.
However, his bruising running style would be a natural replacement for Carson, and it would make sense for Carroll and company to at least check in – particularly if things don’t work out with Lynch.
