We talked about the incentive of a division rival to sign Todd Gurley, if for nothing more than the advantage he would give for six games in an NFL season. But the Seattle Seahawks already have feature running back Chris Carson, and a backup in Rashaad Penney, so why would the Seahawks even place a call to inquire?

Well, to fill the role of Marshawn Lynch for starters. But adding Gurley does more than add an insurance policy to the team in case of injury. Gurley is both a runner and a receiver. And the Seahawks need more receiving weapons.

.@RapSheet just named the #Seahawks as a potential suitor for Todd Gurley.

"It sounds like he wants a chance to prove he's still got it."

He's already making $7 million this year. Sounds like a chance to play the Rams twice a year could be intriguing for TGIII.

Ultimately, any team intending to improve will need to adapt to the skills of players. But Gurley on any team in the NFC West Division is a solid addition. The Seahawks offense would adapt to feature Gurley in the offense if he comes aboard.
