If there's two positions the Seattle Seahawks could still look to add to, its running back and edge rusher.
Not only did the Seahawks lose Boye Mafe to the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency, they could've used a starting-caliber edge rusher before his departure.
At running back, the Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker to the Kansas City Chiefs and they haven't exactly made a move for a clear-cut starter, with the team signing Emanuel Wilson.
Making matters worse, Zach Charbonnet remains a question mark because of his torn ACL suffered in the playoffs that could prevent him from being ready for the start of the season.
What could Seahawks do at RB, EDGE?
According to ESPN's Brady Henderson, the Seahawks aren't likely to land Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane via trade because of a report from Adam Schefter that said the Dolphins aren't interested in trading him.
Instead, Henderson believes the Seahawks will further address the running back spot in the 2026 NFL draft.
"The Dolphins' roster purge has led some to wonder about a potential trade for De'Von Achane, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported this week that Miami has told interested teams that the fourth-year speedster is not available," Henderson writes. "That means that the draft -- where they currently have just four picks -- might be the Seahawks' likeliest path to filling their backfield's need for speed."
According to The Athletic's Shawn-Michael Dugar, a trade for Achane is also unlikely because of the high price the Dolphins would ask for if they did decide to move him, and because of the expensive extension Achane would demand.
"Achane would be an excellent fit but perhaps too expensive based on what the Jaylen Waddle trade compensation says about how the Miami Dolphins’ general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, values his top players," Dugar wrote. "Achane is also entering the final year of his rookie contract, so he’s either due for an extension this summer or a payday next spring. Neither would seem likely in Seattle."
When it comes to edge rusher, Dugar doesn't think guys like Maxx Crosby or Jonathan Greenard will be options for Seattle.
"Acquiring any of Maxx Crosby, De’Von Achane or Jonathan Greenard would address a need for Seattle, but all three decisions would come with drawbacks," he added. "In addition to medical grades, Seattle also gives prospective players durability scores. General manager John Schneider said they’ve been doing that for years. Based on reporting by my colleagues, it sounds as if Crosby might not fare well in the durability department, even if he’s expected to make a full recovery and play this season. Add that to his age and salary over the next couple of seasons, and a trade seems unlikely for several reasons."
Who Seahawks could target at EDGE
Dugar goes on to say that the Seahawks are likely to wait until after the upcoming draft to add an edge rusher to the roster, with the Seattle beat writer mentioning both Von Miller and Jadeveon Clowney specifically as potential targets.
"It feels more likely the Seahawks will wait until after the draft and kick the tires on a veteran edge rusher who wouldn’t impact the compensatory draft pick formula, such as Von Miller or Jadeveon Clowney," Dugar wrote.
Miller will be 37 on March 26, but he was still very productive for the Washington Commanders last season with nine sacks. Seattle could interest Miller, who will likely be looking for the best opportunity to win a Super Bowl in 2026.
Clowney was also productive in 2025, with the former No. 1 overall pick tallying 8.5 sacks in 13 games for the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, Clowney has already played for the Seahawks when he posted three sacks in 13 games in 2019.
