Devonta Freeman isn’t the only veteran back on the mind of the Seahawks’ decision-makers. Carlos Hyde has also drawn the interest of Seattle, tweets Mike Silver of NFL.com.
Hyde will be turn 30 years old during the 2020 NFL campaign, but he’s still generated interest on the open market despite his age. That’s perhaps unsurprising given that the former Ohio State Buckeye is coming off the best statistical season of his career. After being traded to the Texans last fall, Hyde surpassed 1,000 yards on the ground for Houston while scoring eight total touchdowns.
The Texans reportedly offered Hyde a multi-year extension of unknown value near the start of the offseason, but he rejected the proposal in favor of reaching the open market. In addition to the Seahawks, the Eagles have also discussed the possibility of signing Hyde.
Seattle boasts Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer, and rookie Deejay Dallas in its run-heavy backfield, but Penny may not be ready for the start of training camp after suffering a knee injury last season. The Seahawks have also discussed a reunion with Marshawn Lynch.
don’t you dare. go with Freeman OR ELSE
Oh my
Or Leonard Fournette
Or Bam Morris
Or Bam Bam Bigelow
Agreed
ayrbhoy,
He’s a mouthy over rated injury prone back. No need for that in Seattle. No room for him!
Seahawks about to start up HYDE and go seek !!
Dr. Jekyll?
With so many players toting guns, investing in a Hyde seems like a pretty sensible idea.
