Could Jamaal Charles be headed to the West Coast?
The 30-year-old running back became a free agent after the Kansas City Chiefs released him on Feb. 28, making his future uncertain thanks to a history of knee and ankle injuries. But NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Seattle has its eyes on Charles.
#Seahawks & RB Jamaal Charles have mutual interest, sources say, & a visit is expected when Charles begins taking them. A potential new home

Seattle could be an ideal match for Charles, as the Seahawks used a running back by committee last season with Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise. Charles likely would be the No. 1 back in that situation, but the others could lessen his workload, as he’s played just eight games over the last two seasons.
NFL free agency officially begins Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.
