On March 10, Kenneth Walker III, named Super Bowl 60, most valuable player, rushed for 135 yards and added 26. Receiving in Seattle's 29-13 victory over New England, now he's heading to the Kansas City Chiefs, agreeing to a three-year deal worth $45 million, including more than $28 million. Guaranteed. This all came together on the first day of legal tampering. He'll make it official when free agency opens Wednesday afternoon. It's a rare move. The first in 30 years, for Super Bowl MVP to switch team so soon. The last was Larry Brown after Super Bowl 30 in 1996, when he left Dallas for Oakland on a 5-year 12,500, $1,000 contract. Brown's new team hoped for a boost, but he managed just eight games over two seasons before getting waived. Raiders leaders back then saw it as a must-have signing, yet it didn't pay an outlong term. Two other MVP's followed suit soon after. Desmond Howard went from Green Bay to Oakland and Dexter Jackson from Tampa Bay to Arizona.

Both had brief runs with their new clubs, marked by injuries or limited play before returning to their championship teams within two years. History points to short stays for these stars, so keep an eye on Walker. He might suit up for Seattle again before this decade ends.
