Seahawks Lose MVP Walker to Chiefs

On March 9th, the Seattle Seahawks have lost their Super Bowl 60 MVP, running back Kenneth

Walker III to free agency.

He is signing a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $43,000,000,000,

including $28.7 million fully guaranteed.

Reports say the deal could reach as high as $45,000,000.

Both the Seahawks and Walker wanted to stay together in Seattle, but his price tag got

too steep.

With extensions looming for wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba and cornerback Devon

Witherspoon, the team had to prioritize cap space.

Seahawks fans are understandably disappointed to see their starback head to a new team.

Many 12 fans feel distinct, though this move was expected in a hot market for running backs.

Walker lands about 14.3 million a year, close to the top rumors, but not quite 15 million.

Seattle sees it as smart business, given his past injury issues, and the need to lock

up younger stars long-term.

At least he is leaving the NFC behind.

Look for a big showdown when the Seahawks host the Chiefs at Lumen Field in 2026.
