Seahawks' Walker: Super Bowl MVP, Free Agent Next Week

0:00On March 3rd, Kenneth Walker just led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl win and earned MVP honors as the first running back to do so this century. The 25-year-old rushed for 151 yards in their 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. Earlier this week, reports surface that Seattle won't use the franchise tag on him. They have until Tuesday at 4pm Eastern time to decide, or Walker hits free agency next Wednesday, March 11th. Fans and analysts see this as a big shift after his breakout year. Walker posted a career high 1,309 scrimmage yards at 4.6 yards per carry than dominated the playoffs with four. 117 yards and four touchdowns in three games while his backup was hurt. Market estimates put his value around $9 million per year, well below the 14.3 million franchise tag price. That leaves room for Seattle to reassign him cheaper, or he could chase bigger deals like a few past MVP running backs who switched teams.

1:02Teens like the Kansas City Chiefs might chase him alongside free agents such as Travis Etienne and others, setting up an exciting market for top. Rushers this off season.
