0:00For the NFL, it's March 3rd. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Seattle Seahawks are moving on from their star running back, Kenneth Walker III, after a stellar season, capped by a Super Bowl win. Insiders report the team won't slap him with a franchise tag, so he'll hit unrestricted free agency when the league year starts. Rising costs at the running back spot are a big factor here. Even with over $58 million in cap space, the Seahawks have hefty bills coming for other key players on their championship squad. Reporters say deals around $14,200,000 a year, like Breeze Hall's tag value, might price Walker out of Seattle. Fans and analysts see this as the end of an era for the Seahawks backfield duo. Walker paired with Zack Chardonnay for a powerful thunder and lightning attack during the regular season, but Chardonnay's injury thrust Walker into. The full-time role where he's shown with speed and vision, sources from rival teams already buzzed about chasing Walker, potentially setting a new market ceiling alongside Hall.
1:04His Super Bowl most valuable player performance has everyone expecting a big payday, likely over $12 million annually on a multi-year contract. Meanwhile, this shakes up the running back landscape for teams like the Los Angeles Rams. They're building around Kyron Williams and Young Blake Horm, who could break out and either stick or get traded if costs climb. The Rams got a taste of Walker's impact earlier, but now they're eyeing their own depth. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage.
