Walker Signs Record-Breaking Deal with Chiefs

0:00On March 9th, running back Kenneth Walker III just agreed to a 3-year deal worth $45 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. This marched the richest free agent contract ever for running back in NFL history. The 25-year-old comes over from the Seattle Seahawks, who won the Super Bowl last season. Walker played a huge role there, rushing for over 1,000 yards in the regular season and earning Super Bowl MVP honors with 100. 61 yards in the championship win. Cheese fans are buzzing after their team missed the playoffs, with a 6-in-11 record, their first absence since 2014. Walker confirmed the move on social media soon after reports surfaced Monday. Seattle chose not to use the franchise tag on him, which would have cost about $14 million. Instead, their saving cap space to extend stars, like wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba, and keep Zack Chardonnay, who had 7-30 yards. In 12 touchdowns last year, this shake-up gives Kansas City a fresh spark in the backfield as they aim to return to contention, while the Seahawks build around their young core.
