Burden, in limited action, showcased his speed and playmaking ability in Chicago’s top-five offense. Last season, Burden totaled 47 catches on 60 targets for 652 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, and following DJ Moore’s departure this offseason, he’s primed for a bigger role in Year 2.
The Seattle Seahawks underwent significant changes at running back this offseason. They selected rookie Jadarian Price at No. 32 overall in the 2026 NFL draft to help replace Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III, who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Seahawks also signed veteran back Emanuel Wilson in free agency.
