​The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season with a talented roster on both offense and defense, but as they look to repeat as champions in 2026, a trade many be necessary to strengthen their team prior to the NFL trade deadline next autumn.According to ClutchPoints’ Bailey Bassett, Zach Charbonnet is among three prime trade candidates for the Seahawks this year, also including Tory Horton and Ernest Jones IV.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“The Seahawks backfield changes led to them selecting Jadarian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, which only further clouds Charbonnet’s future. …” Bassett said. “…The fact that Charbonnet may not be of help during a title defense only increases the likelihood that he could be traded.”Charbonnet was highly effective as the 1B to Kenneth Walker’s 1A in Seattle’s offensive backfield last season. He rushed for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, but with his health in question for the start of the upcoming season after tearing his ACL in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs last season, moving him may be beneficial for the team in a favorable deal.Horton has much talent at the wide receiver position, but there’s not enough room for him to shine in the way that he may be capable of doing alongside AP Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp. Another favorable return will be sensible for the Seahawks to sign off on in a deal for Horton in the event that one presents itself.Jones is one of the Seahawks’ most accomplished defenders from last season, having been one of only three players from their sweltering defense to have been named an All-Pro, himself being a second-team honoree, which makes him a high-leverage piece in the trade market. Only a hefty return for Jones makes sense, as his worth to the team is of great value for next season.This article originally appeared on Seahawks Wire: Zach Charbonnet named as potential Seahawks trade candidates for 2026
