The NFL community is currently discussing a blockbuster trade proposal between the Seattle Seahawks and the Las Vegas Raiders. It is said that the Seahawks might be trading their star running back, Kenneth Walker III, to the AFC team. If this trade happens, it could change the entire 2025 NFL playoff race.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton suggested a trade where the Seahawks send Walker to the Raiders for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Moton believes Walkerâs performance has dropped, and his injury history has caused him to miss games in his first three NFL seasons.
His rushing numbers have also decreased since his rookie year. Moreover, trading Walker would help the team focus on Charbonnet and use their resources in other areas.

This explains why Seahawks General Manager John Schneider is contemplating the trade. Schneider is known for trading players early rather than late, as he did with stars like Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.
Meanwhile, the Raiders have struggled to replace Josh Jacobs, who left in free agency. Adding Walker could fill the void in their offense and provide a much-needed boost.
Seattle Seahawks also eyeing QB in NFL draft
Besides the possible trade proposal, the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly exploring the possibility of selecting a QB in the 2025 NFL Draft, with Texas standout Quinn Ewers emerging as a potential target. This development comes as the Seahawks look to solidify their quarterback depth and plan for the future.
While Seattle recently signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract, the deal includes an option to exit after the first year, making it effectively a one-year, $37.5 million commitment. This flexibility has fueled speculation that the Seahawks may still be in the market for a young quarterback.
Quinn Ewers has 37 games of collegiate football experience. His extensive background makes him a possible first-round pick for the Seahawks in their pursuit of long-term stability. This could be yet another sign that they have significant doubts about Darnold’s capacity for leadership.
