Overview
- Bleacher Report's Alex Kay projects Kenneth Walker to Kansas City on a three-year, $29 million contract as an ideal free-agent fit.
- Kansas City ranked 23rd in rushing and 23rd in run-block win rate in 2025, with reporting noting the team would need to clear cap space to bid.
- Both Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are set to enter free agency, positioning the Chiefs to offer Walker a clear lead role if they pursue him.
- Walker is in the final months of a four-year, $8.4 million rookie deal and tracked 205 carries for 930 yards with five rushing TDs plus 27 catches for 246 yards in 2025.
- Coverage notes a higher Spotrac estimate at four years and $36 million, Seattle's two-back usage with Zach Charbonnet, and the view that an explosive RB could help while Patrick Mahomes rehabs an ACL tear.
