Kenneth Walker Joins Chiefs, Shakes Up NFL

On March 9, big news out of the NFL, Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III has

agreed to join the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.

This move ends his time with the Seattle Seahawks, where he's shown in their recent championship

win over the New England Patriots.

Walker gives the Chiefs a dynamic backfield option they've lacked for years.

The Chiefs have battled running back issues for a while now.

During the 2025 season, even quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the team in rushing before

suffering an ACL injury he's still recovering.

From that overreliance on Mahomes helped sink their playoff hopes, Walker didn't hold

back on sharing the excitement, posting a photo of himself in chief skier on X over

the weekend.

Fans and analysts see this as a major boost for an offense that struggled to find balance

last year.

With Walker on board, Kansas City might shift their draft strategy.

Walker projections had them eyeing Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love in the first round, but

now they could target other needs instead.

The deal becomes official when free agency kicks off later this week, setting the stage

for a revamped Chiefs attack ready to contend again.
