After Being “Betrayed” by the Seahawks, 1,361-Yard RB Declares He Wants to Devote Everything to the Philadelphia Eagles

Denver, Colorado – Just days after the Seattle Seahawks abruptly released him — despite signing him only weeks earlier and giving him just one game to prove himself — running back Myles Gaskin has resurfaced with a stunning message for the NFL. And his words point directly toward one destination: the Philadelphia Eagles.

Gaskin, who has amassed 1,361 career rushing yards and built a reputation as a versatile, high-effort back, was expected to find a fresh opportunity in Seattle. Instead, the relationship collapsed almost instantly. His release shocked many around the league, especially given Seattle’s previous optimism about integrating him into their offense.

The abrupt exit — and a spark of hope in Denver

Sources close to the situation say Gaskin felt blindsided by how quickly the Seahawks moved on. Promised a legitimate role, he never had the opportunity to prove himself. But as one door slammed shut, another began to crack open — in the Rocky Mountains.

Denver, currently assessing depth at running back and looking for players who bring toughness and reliability, has suddenly become Gaskin’s preferred landing spot. The fit is there: Sean Payton values versatility, relentlessness, and mental toughness — three qualities Gaskin has shown throughout his career.

Gaskin breaks his silence — and Eagles Nation feels the energy

When asked why Denver is the team he now hopes to call home, Gaskin didn’t hold back. His response, raw and emotional, quickly spread through Eagles social media:

“I gave them all my love, and they turned their backs on me. I want to pour every last bit of passion I have left into Denver because I see the trust they show every member of that team; if they give me a chance, I’ll help bring them back to the top.”

It was the kind of quote that resonates deeply with a fanbase built on resilience, loyalty, and blue-collar grit.

Do the Eagles need Gaskin? The timing might be perfect

Denver’s backfield has shown flashes but remains inconsistent. Adding a veteran with:

  • Experience

  • Pass-catching ability

  • Strong football IQ

  • And a genuine hunger to prove himself

  • …could be exactly the midseason spark Sean Payton is looking for.

    Gaskin’s mindset alone — determined, humbled, motivated — is the kind that often leads to redemption arcs in the NFL.

    The bottom line

    The Eagles haven’t made an official decision yet, but Gaskin’s message has unquestionably reached the right ears. A player discarded in one city often finds his true identity in another — and Denver has a history of reviving careers when the hunger is real.

    If Mile High opens its doors, Myles Gaskin appears ready to run through them with everything he has left.

    BREAKING: Chiefs Among Top Landing Spots for Former $141 Million Future Hall of Fame Pass Rusher
    Kansas City, Missouri – January 2026 Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly one of the top landing spots for Khalil Mack, a former $141 million edge rusher, as he is set to hit free agency in the spring. The 34-year-old player, widely regarded as a future Hall of Famer, is expected to be a top target for teams looking to add a veteran pass rusher to their roster, and the Chiefs could be a perfect fit. After spending the past few years with the Los Angeles Chargers, Mack had a solid 2025 season, recording 5.5 sacks and 39 quarterback pressures. While Mack may not be the dominant force he once was, he remains a top-tier pass rusher and a leader with invaluable experience, potentially providing a significant boost to the Chiefs' defense, which is already formidable. According to Zachary Pereles from CBS Sports, the Chiefs could be a leading contender for Mack’s services. “Mack would be a perfect addition to Kansas City, a team that’s already stacked on offense but could use another strong presence on defense. The Chiefs have the salary cap flexibility to bring in a veteran like Mack without making a major financial commitment, making him an ideal fit for their Super Bowl aspirations,” Pereles said. The Chiefs have established themselves as one of the NFL's elite teams, particularly on offense, but adding a veteran presence like Mack could provide that extra edge needed on defense. His leadership and ability to disrupt quarterbacks would be a valuable asset as Kansas City pushes for another Super Bowl title. However, the Chiefs won’t be the only team competing for Mack’s services. Other teams like the Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, and Carolina Panthers are also interested. The Bears and Bengals have specific defensive needs, while the Panthers have multiple positions to fill on their defense. “Chiefs is an organization with a rich history and a bright future. They have an incredible offense, but I know I can help elevate their defense to the next level. I want to be part of something special and bring that championship mentality to a team that’s already so close to greatness. If I’m given the chance, I will do everything in my power to help the Chiefs win it all,” Mack shared. For Mack, the final decision will depend on the role he’s offered and which team is best positioned to contend for a Super Bowl in the coming years. But as the Chiefs continue their pursuit of another championship, they remain one of the most attractive landing spots for this veteran pass rusher.
