Star running bag Kenneth Walker III, who earned Super Bowl MVP honors, looks likely to hit free agency. With a new league year nearing, keeping him could prove expensive for the team. Walker put up 1027 rushing yards in five touchdowns in the regular season, sharing carries with Zack Sharvenay. He then exploded in the playoffs, leading the NFL with 417 yards from scrimmage and four total scores to clinch the title. Fans hate the idea of losing their beloved 25-year-old back, but Seattle's salary cap is squeezed by huge deals for Jackson Smith and Jigba and Devon Witherspoon. That leaves little room for big spinning and running back. A position teams often fill cheaply through free agency or the draft. A fresh contract projection from sports illustrated paints a grim picture.

Still, Seattle remains a possible landing spot alongside the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the team eyes other moves like franchise tag options and potential cuts to manage their roster.
