4 Seahawks who don’t deserve another season with the team in 2022

RB Chris Carson

Running back Chris Carson has been a staple of Seattle’s offensive scheme for the past few years after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL draft. Carson’s explosive running attack complimented well with Russ and the Seahawks’ passing game. Carson is a very efficient runner, however, he runs violently which for the most part of his NFL career lands him with injuries.

It has been an ongoing concern for Chris Carson to stay healthy on the field ever since he was drafted. During his rookie season in 2017, Carson landed on IR after breaking his ankle and missed his final 12 games of the season.

In 2018, he missed 2 games with a hip injury and then fractured his hip on Week 16 the following year. He missed another 4 games due to a mid-foot sprain in 2020. The latest injury Chris Carson suffered was a neck injury during practice before Week 5 of the 2021 season which required surgery. Chris Carson simply cannot stay healthy!

Carson is now trying to recover from that neck surgery and hoping to get back on the field this season. As much as we want to see Carson come back better than ever, it should not be with the Seahawks. With the rebuild in full effect,  it is time for Seattle to move forward and look for younger and healthier options either through this years’ rookie draft, free agency or via trade.

It’s hard to rely on an oft-injured Carson, especially with the uncertainty in the quarterback position. The Seahawks need stability in the running back position to be able to establish themselves better moving forward.
