The Seattle Seahawks may not be done shopping before the trade deadline.
After making a bold move last year for New Orleans Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed, a deal that paid off in a big way during the playoff push, Seattle could again look to plug a few holes if the right names become available. With the Seahawks chasing another Super Bowl run, there are a handful of teams that look primed to sell - and a few players who could make sense in Seattle.
One of the most obvious fits comes from Tennessee. Even after the Titans picked up their first win in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, they still project as one of the league’s weakest teams. That makes them a likely trade-deadline seller, and running back Tony Pollard is the kind of player who could draw attention.
Pollard is in the final year of his contract, and he brings the kind of versatility Seattle could use. He can handle a heavy workload if needed, but he also profiles as someone who could share touches with Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet. For a Seahawks team looking at backfield help, he stands out as a logical target.
Tight end is another spot where Seattle may need reinforcements. Elijah Arroyo is expected to miss a long stretch, and if that absence lasts the rest of the season, the Seahawks would likely have to add some veteran insurance.
Dallas Goedert checks that box. He brings Super Bowl experience, and the Eagles’ situation makes him a realistic possibility.
Philadelphia has dropped four straight and is now without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the rest of the year. With their season heading in the wrong direction, the Eagles are expected to chase more draft capital for the next two years. Seattle could meet them there, with a Day 3 pick for Goedert.
The linebacker market may also be worth watching for the Seahawks, who have dealt with several injuries at that spot. Tampa Bay’s SirVocea Dennis is one name that could be on the move. A fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft out of Pittsburgh, Dennis has spent his first four seasons with the Bucks and is heading toward free agency after this season.
His path in Tampa looks crowded, too. The team added Alex Anzalone in the offseason and drafted Josiah Trotter, which could make Dennis expendable. Seattle could offer him a fresh start and give Tampa an early exit at the deadline.
Dennis showed more last season, when he started 16 games and piled up more than 100 tackles. This year, though, he has only six starts, and a change of scenery could help him bounce back.
Then there’s Indianapolis, a team that appears to be heading toward more turnover after firing general manager Chris Ballard earlier this week. If the Colts continue to shift toward the future, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither could be another name to watch.
Davis-Gaither signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis this offseason after starting for the Arizona Cardinals last year. He has started every game for the Colts so far, but the team also used a second-round pick on Georgia linebacker CJ Allen. If Indianapolis is looking long term, it could turn to Allen and pick up another draft asset by moving Davis-Gaither.
For a Seahawks team trying to stay ready for a title push, these are the kinds of deadline opportunities that can matter.

Seahawks Suddenly Have A Zach Charbonnet Problem Before Chiefs Game
The Seahawks are heading into their Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs without Zach Charbonnet, who has already been activated off the physically unable to perform list but remains in rehab and not ready to suit up. Seattle also ruled out linebackers Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt, along with defensive back Nick Emmanwori, leaving the roster thinner than the team would like as it prepares for one of its tougher tests of the early season.
Charbonnets situation is the one that stands out most because Seattle went through the trouble of making roster moves to keep him eligible later in the year. For now, though, the team has to proceed without the running back it had hoped might be closer to a return, and the injury list adds another wrinkle as the Seahawks try to navigate a game where depth could matter just as much as the headline names on the field.

Seahawks Need These Surprise Contributors To Challenge The Unbeaten Chiefs
A Sunday night test against the unbeaten Chiefs gives the Seahawks a chance to measure how much depth and versatility they really have. With Kansas City coming in without a loss, Seattle will need more than its stars to make this one competitive, and a few unexpected names could shape how the game unfolds. Cooper Kupp, Ty Okada and Trevon Diggs are among the players who may wind up carrying more weight than usual in a matchup that demands sharp execution in every phase.
Seattle also has a familiar source of motivation in former player Kenneth Walker III, whose presence adds another layer to a game already loaded with stakes. The Seahawks know they are facing a team that has set the standard for the league, and this is the kind of night where role players can swing the balance if they rise to the moment. Whether those surprise contributors can actually tilt things in Seattles favor will be one of the more interesting subplots when the Chiefs arrive. [Read more 🡒]
Why Seahawks Let Kenneth Walker Walk Looks Even Tougher Now
When the Seahawks decided not to bring back Kenneth Walker III, the explanation centered on availability and durability. Seattle moved on instead of extending a back whose bursts and explosiveness had long made him one of the more dangerous players in the offense, and Walker eventually landed a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now the decision looks a lot harder to defend. Walker is leading the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2026, a reminder of the kind of playmaker Seattle let leave, while the Seahawks are still sorting out their own backfield with Zach Charbonnet just coming off the physically unable to perform list. For a team that wanted more certainty, the contrast has only gotten sharper. [Read more 🡒]
