6 running backs the Seattle Seahawks could sign for Week 17

The Seattle Seahawks are already flying Marshawn Lynch in for a visit. Here are six other options they could look to sign as replacements.

LeGarrette Blount

Blount has not been rumored to Seattle, he has never played in Seattle, and he isn’t from the Pacific Northwest (although he did go to Oregon) but he’s one of the best free-agent running backs who has gone unsigned this year, and his bruising style of running seems to jive with Carroll’s offense.

Blount has played in nine NFL seasons and has already won three Super Bowls, another factor that could help him land a job in Seattle. He’s carried the ball 1,495 times for 6,306 yards and 56 touchdowns, including a league-leading 18 back in 2016 with the Patriots.

Blount last played with the Lions in 2018, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry, making him an unlikely option to sign in Seattle. But his history and style at least merit a phone call to see what kind of shape he’s in.
