EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsThe Seattle Seahawks took a step toward replacing Kenneth Walker III on Thursday by agreeing to sign former Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.1 million, a source confirmed to ESPN.Wilson, 26, spent his first three seasons in Green Bay after going undrafted out of Division II Fort Valley State in Georgia in 2023. In 34 games over the last two seasons, Wilson combined for 998 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 228 carries (4.4 average). He added 147 receiving yards and a touchdown on 26 catches in that span.Wilson's best game as a pro came in Week 11 of last season, when he totaled 125 scrimmage yards on 30 touches and scored two touchdowns while filling in for an injured Josh Jacobs.Wilson becomes only the second external free agent the Seahawks have agreed to sign since the negotiating window opened Monday. He joins former Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney Thomas II, who agreed to a one-year deal with Seattle earlier Thursday.The Super Bowl champions have mostly focused on keeping as many members of their championship roster together as possible, but Walker was one of four players who have signed elsewhere. The MVP of Super Bowl LX agreed to join the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $43.05 million deal Monday.The Seahawks might still look to add another running back in the draft after signing Wilson. They'll likely be without Zach Charbonnet for much of next season as the other half of their backfield duo with Walker in 2025 recovers from February knee surgery. George Holani, who finished the playoffs as their No. 2 running back after Charbonnet went down in the divisional round, was tendered by Seattle as an exclusive rights free agent.The NFL Network first reported Seattle's agreement with Wilson.
