traded back into the fifth round<\/a> to get him suggests that Haynes is the one whose future is in serious jeopardy.<\/p>\nKenny McIntosh, Running Back<\/p>\n
With Zach Charbonnet highly unlikely to be ready for Week 1 and Kenneth Walker off the team, the running back position is going to be different for the Seahawks this year. Jadarian Price is the marquee name after his first round selection, but he\u2019s not going to be a 20+ carry a game guy (at least not right from the jump). George Holani figures to be at least a part of the rotation, while Emanuel Wilson is the unspectacular but steady free agent signing.<\/p>\n
McIntosh has an uphill battle, both for the names ahead of him and also his health. Having beaten out Holani for RB3 back in 2024, McIntosh never got the chance to stake his claim for a roster spot last year after tearing his ACL. The former Georgia star has twice suffered serious knee injuries over three seasons, which is a shame considering the promise he\u2019s shown in limited touches. At the very least, McIntosh as a receiving back would\u2019ve been intriguing, and his running style looks to be ideal for predominantly a zone blocking scheme.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty much now or never for McIntosh, especially at a position that is historically known for major churn and moving on from players across the league.<\/p>\n
Nehemiah Pritchett, Cornerback<\/p>\n
The only major loss at cornerback is Riq Woolen, otherwise everyone else from last year\u2019s regular season roster is both healthy and available. Replacing Riq still won\u2019t be an easy task, hence the Seahawks invested at corner early-ish in the draft through Arkansas\u2019 Julian Neal, along with late-round flyers on Andre Fuller and Michael Dansby. They also signed former first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene in free agency for added competition.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the forgotten names on the cornerback depth chart is Nehemiah Pritchett, whom like Haynes is entering his third year in the league. Pritchett had the bulk of his rookie playing time against the Atlanta Falcons and the Week 18 Los Angeles Rams game. The Rams performance in particular was a bit of a struggle.<\/p>\n
With the secondary healthier and more solidified in 2025, Pritchett\u2019s snaps reduced from 151 to 91. If nothing else, his 4th down touchdown PBU on Marvin Harrison Jr was probably the most encouraging rep he\u2019s had to date.<\/p>\n
In past interviews, Mike Macdonald has sounded bullish on Pritchett\u2019s potential, but obviously that\u2019s not an indicator of future starter. It\u2019s possible there\u2019s still room for Pritchett even if Neal and Igbinoghene are favored over him, but it wouldn\u2019t be a shock if he\u2019s let go if his camp and preseason don\u2019t go favorably. If the Seahawks were absolutely sure Pritchett was the guy, they probably would\u2019ve bypassed Neal altogether.<\/p>\n
