Seahawks' Walker: Free Agent Dilemma

0:00On March 2nd, the Seattle Seahawks are fresh off their Super Bowl win, beating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Santa Clara 4. Their first title in years. They're riding a 10-game winning streak into the 20-26 season. But a big question hangs over Running Back, Kenneth Walker III. The four-year pro-earned Super Bowl most valuable player honors with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries becoming the first. Running back to snag that award since Terrell Davis back in Super Bowl 32. Walker is one of nine unrestricted free agents for the Seahawks, and General Manager John Schneider faces a tough call in his future. The team could offer a one-year deal, go-long term, or slap on the franchise tag to keep him. His rookie contract from the 2022 draft worth 8.44 million over four years is expiring. Fans and analysts see Walker as Mr. Reliable after four solid NFL seasons with over 4,500 yards from Scrimmage, 31 touchdowns, and just three fumbles on more.

1:04Then 1,000 touches. In the playoffs, he added nearly 500 yards and five scores without a turnover, proving his value in big moments. Adding pressure, back-up Zach Sharvanay's status is uncertain after a playoff injury, and the Seahawks are installing new offensive coordinator Brian. Flurry. Keeping continuity from the championship run could be key for Coach Mike McDonald. Schneider might move fast, possibly within the next couple days, to lock in this proven star coming off his best year ever before free agency heats.
