Seahawks Let Walker Hit Free Agency

0:00On March 3rd, the Seattle Seahawks are fresh off their Super Bowl 60 victory against the New England Patriots and now they're making big moves in the off season. Key player decisions include their star running back Kenneth Walker, the 25-year-old Super Bowl MVP who racked up over a thousand rushing. Yards in the regular season and shown bright in the playoffs with more than 300 yards and four touchdowns. Earlier this week, reports confirmed the Seahawks won't slap the franchise tag on Walker, letting him hit free agency as an unrestricted agent. That move dodges a hefty 14.5 million dollar price tag for next season. Under General Manager John Schneider, who's been with the team for 16 years, they've only used the tag twice, so this fits their style of letting. The market play out. Walker leads a strong group of free agent running backs, including names like Travis Etienne Jr., Rico Dowdell, Tyler Algear, and Naji Harris, which could spark a wild market. Negotiations kick off March 9th at noon Eastern time through March 11th in the afternoon, with deals official at 4 p.m. Eastern on March 12th, setting the stage for lots of roster shakeups before the draft.
