Fresh off of winning Super Bowl MVP honors, Kenneth Walker cashed in with a three-year, $43 million contract that includes $28.7 million guaranteed from AFC juggernaut Kansas City.
"You feel appreciated and wanted," Walker said of his decision to sign with the Chiefs. "Everybody wants that. … I'm just trying to get another [Super Bowl ring] ... It's a winning culture, watching over the years. Plenty of Super Bowls, they know what it takes to win."
While Walker attempts to win a Super Bowl with a different team, the Seattle Seahawks attempt to replace the team's most important offensive weapon from the playoff run that culminated with the team hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

ESPN's Bill Barnwell believes Walker's replacement could come from a team the Seahawks faced three times during the 2025 NFL season: former San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.
"The Seahawks need a replacement for Kenneth Walker III who can shoulder a meaningful workload, given that Zach Charbonnet is expected to miss the start of the 2026 season after tearing an ACL in the playoffs," Barnwell suggested.
"The Seahawks signed Emanuel Wilson to a one-year deal this week, but Robinson would offer a more consistent rushing performance and ably serve as the lead back in the rotation while Charbonnet recuperates."
Seahawks general manager John Schneider revealed the outlook for Charbonnet is "good", but he failed to give a timeline for the talented running back's return.
“He’s a true pro. He’s so strong and his work ethic is outstanding,” Schneider said. “… The surgery went very well and the outlook’s good. And I’m sure he’s going to attack his rehab like anything else, like he always does.”
