Seahawks' Walker: Super Bowl MVP to Hit Open Market

0:00On March 3rd, the Seattle Seahawks are not expected to use the franchise tag on Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker III. Reports from Adam Schefter say the team was unlikely to tag him two weeks ago when the window opened, and now as it closes, they're still leaning that way. This leaves Walker free to hit the open market next week, unless he resigns with Seattle first. It's a big decision, since franchise tags keep top players off the market for a year. Walker had a strong year with a 1027 rushing yards in the regular season. He stepped up big in the playoffs, too, piling up 376 yards over three games, including 135 in the Super Bowl. When, if he leaves, he'd join a short list of Super Bowl MVP's, who switched teams right after their big moment, like Larry Brown, Desmond Howard, and Dexter. Jackson. Meanwhile, the Seahawks face a bigger hole at running back after Zach Scharbene tore his ACL in the divisional round and had surgery 11 days ago.

1:01For now, the doors cracked open for a last-minute surprise, but it looks like Walker could be shopping his talent soon.
