Despite signing Emanuel Wilson in free agency<\/a>, the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> still have a glaring need at running back after the departure of Kenneth Walker.<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s why YardBarker’s Colton Edwards<\/a> predicts the Seahawks will sign San Francisco 49ers<\/a> free agent running back Brian Robinson Jr.<\/p>\n

“With Zach Charbonnet sidelined by an ACL tear and Walker gone, Seattle signed Emanuel Wilson, but it needs a lead back. Robinson’s rushing consistency fits as a rotational starter on a one-year deal during Charbonnet’s recovery,” Edwards said.<\/p>\n

Robinson Jr. appeared in all 17 games this past year, posting 400 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 4.3 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

When in a starting role with the Washington Commanders<\/a> from 2022 to 2024, Robinson tallied three straight seasons with over 700 rushing yards and also had over 1,100 scrimmage yards in 2023.<\/p>\n

Signing Robinson would add some power to Seattle’s rushing attack and would also give the Seahawks a running back room with solid depth and versatility.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Robunson will be cheap to sign. Spotrac projects the 26-year-old will sign a one-year deal worth $3.1 million<\/a>, which could be incredibly affordable.<\/p>\n

Seattle will need to produce at least an average rushing attack until Zach Charbonnet\u00a0can return from a torn ACL<\/a>, and a duo of Robinson and Wilson would be able to carry the load in 2026 for the defending champions.<\/p>\n
