Mike Florio names two players the Seattle Seahawks could now trade for after Bears loss
The Seattle Seahawks’ season is at a crossroads following their emphatic defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Sam Darnold’s offense has turned into a one-man band with Jaxon Smith-Njigba guaranteeing over 100 receiving yards a game.
The Seattle Seahawks find themselves at a critical juncture after their loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The team's offensive struggles have become glaring, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba shouldering the burden of being the sole offensive weapon. Despite Smith-Njigba's impressive yardage, the lack of quality skill players around him has raised concerns, leading ESPN reporter Mike Florio to speculate that general manager John Schneider may make another move before the trade deadline.
The running back position has been particularly problematic for the Seahawks, with Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet both recovering from injuries. Their combined 62 rushing yards against the Bears highlight the team's weakness in this area. Florio suggests that the Seahawks could consider trading for a running back such as Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard, who could bolster the team's offensive capabilities.
However, the article also touches upon the potential impact of offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, who has been criticized for his play-calling decisions. While a trade for a running back may provide a short-term solution, it remains uncertain whether it will be enough to address the broader offensive issues faced by the Seattle Seahawks.
