The NFL\u2019s<\/a> new league year is approaching, and teams are looking to lock down key expiring contracts. Without a new deal in place, those players can hit the open market.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks have been aiming to make key decisions at running back. With Kenneth Walker III set to hit free agency, they need to act quickly.<\/p>\n

While this won\u2019t have a major impact on negotiations, it at least provides insurance in the event Walker departs in free agency. Holani took over in rotation after Zach Charbonnet suffered a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n

His efforts were rewarded with a tender that will keep him with the Seahawks at least through 2026. He could see an increased role depending on how Seattle\u2019s plans shake out.<\/p>\n
