Chiefs Eye Seahawks RB Walker for 2026 Backfield Boost
2 Jan
Summary
- Kansas City Chiefs' season ends Sunday, missing playoffs since 2014.
- Team considers signing Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker.
- A potential three-year deal worth $29 million is proposed.
The Kansas City Chiefs' season concludes Sunday without a playoff berth, a streak not seen since 2014. The team's offensive performance over the past two seasons has been a significant concern, exacerbated by Patrick Mahomes' recent season-ending injury. As free agency approaches in two months, the Chiefs are reportedly targeting an offensive reinforcement to support Mahomes.
Alex Kay of Bleacher Report suggests the Chiefs should pursue Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker. Kay believes Walker would welcome a move to a team offering him a lead back role. A three-year contract worth $29 million could potentially rejuvenate Kansas City's struggling running game.
This potential acquisition could help the Chiefs compensate for offensive deficiencies and Mahomes' recovery from an ACL tear. Walker, along with teammate Zach Charbonnet, has been instrumental to the Seahawks' success. Securing Walker could reignite the Chiefs' ground attack, especially if complemented by a draft pick at the running back position.
