From the article

Taylor remains one of the league's most productive backs, with 1,585 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025. Through six games in 2026, he has 492 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Taylor's combination of acceleration, vision, contact balance and finishing ability would give Seattle a runner capable of creating yards even when the blocking isn't perfect.

Taylor's elite production and Seahawks connection make him an obvious target, but long-term contract limits appeal.

Jonathan Taylor is presented as an obvious trade target for Seattle's running back need. He has produced 1,585 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025, with 492 rushing yards and seven touchdowns through six games in 2026. His combination of acceleration, vision, contact balance and finishing ability would give Seattle a runner capable of creating yards even when blocking isn't perfect, potentially transforming the backfield and taking pressure off the passing game. He was a popular potential target for Seattle in the 2020 draft, and footage of him expressing interest in the Seahawks has resurfaced. However, the source notes he is under contract through 2028 with $16 million owed in 2027, making a deal likely to cost at least a second-rounder plus additional compensation—a substantial financial and draft investment for a position with a short career window.
