Surprise NFC Team Reportedly Trying To Make Blockbuster Trade For Seahawks Star RB Kenneth Walker III

There's a rumor that the Chicago Bears are trying to make a big move for Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III.

It would make sense as the rb room is crowded and talented. I’m thinking a second rounder. Thoughts?

Pre-draft, there were speculations on K9 to the Raiders, which didn't happen.

Teams inquiring about a player is not the same as Seattle putting them on the trading block.

Click bait.

No one is giving a second rounder for a back. We got a second for an all-pro receiver.

My guess a 5th rd pick is the ceiling a often injured RB on the last year of his rookie deal doesn’t have much value

 

[Rat]

I don't like it. He's a massive talent and if the OL is anywhere remotely fixed, I think he suddenly explodes into the All-Pro mix. Let's not sell super low.

We are likely to have a decent RB on the outs though. I don't see us keeping four when we're also likely to keep a FB and three QBs. Either McIntosh or Martinez probably don't make it. Personally, I'd see what we could get for Charbs, although I know that wouldn't be as popular.

I want to see him in Kubiak's scheme with an upgraded OL.

Yeah, if Grubb were still here, I'd say let him go to a team that will appropriately utilize him. Now that Kubiak is here, I cross my fingers he can just stay mostly healthy. He's got talent for days, and he's a good teammate, but man, last season skewed my vision, hopefully the new coaches can get him back to rookie form.

My preference is to keep Charbs, MacIntosh, Martinez and K9... but the featured back is Charbs, with Martinez spelling him... and K9 becomes somewhat of an insurance policy and a change-of-pace back with a special package that comes into play when we're driving and snapping the ball on the periphery of the red zone.

Ceiling is high for Walker but Seattle loves drafting RBs so I think moving Walker for the right price is okay.

I don't agree with that, K9 is in the last year of his contract, if we keep him we should get all we can out of him, I doubt we will give him a vet contract next year.

Our new offensive scheme is perfect for Walker's skillset. He has the potential to be explosive this year. Due to RB attrition I think we need to keep four on hand even if one is in the waiting room on Sundays. Would really hate to lose any one of RBs we have.

Someone should remind the Bears that the draft was two weeks ago.

Bears didn't get the RB they wanted in the draft and are now desperate

I know, just seems weird. This was a deep draft at RB. We got a total bad-ass in the 7th round.

 

[NoGain]

Anything worse than a 3rd round pick...shove it. It's just not worth it.

 

[Seahawkwalt1967]

Keep him...He gives us the best chance of winning if he stays healthy. We would get a 3rd round comp pick next year if he walks. If the Bears offer 2nd and a player then maybe

 

[CPHawk]

You don’t trade him now. There is no one who needs him bad enough. It’s after the draft and still months before the season. Is only trade him before the draft or if a team is desperate during the season, and we are out of the playoff hunt. Plus Chicago can pound sand. I’d never help them out.

Going to be a bad-ass practice squad.

I think Kubiaks offense needs KWIII.
