Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a great value signing for the Seattle Seahawks — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Emanuel's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL RBs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $1.6M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting serviceable starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Emanuel is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 1-year, $1.6M deal ($550K guaranteed, 34%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.

Performance Analysis

Emanuel Wilson earns an F for the Seahawks at running back, a player who has been unable to earn a consistent role in Seattle's backfield. Wilson was once a promising undrafted player in Green Bay, but his production has not followed him to the Pacific Northwest. His rushing totals have been minimal, and he has not shown the burst or vision needed to be a productive NFL back. The Seahawks have other options who offer more dynamic playmaking ability. Wilson is fighting for a roster spot on a team that needs more from the running back position.

Fan Sentiment

Seattle lands a potential best-value starting RB in a quietly shrewd roster move. Multiple headlines, including one bold claim about 2026 value, signal real media buzz around this signing. The standout signal is one report calling Wilson potentially the NFL's best value starter at RB in 2026. Fans are excited about the upside, especially given Seattle's need for a reliable backfield presence. If Wilson earns a starting role, this signing could look like a genuine steal within two seasons.
