Chiefs land Kenneth Walker III, SB MVP, on a three-year deal

The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly agreed to sign Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, to a three-year contract worth up to $45 million with $28.7 million guaranteed, marking the franchise’s biggest investment at running back since 2020. Walker, 25, rushed for 1,050 yards with Seattle as a rookie and totaled 1,299 yards (plus 313 rushing yards in the postseason) in 2025, despite injuries that tempered his production. His arrival signals a major free-agent swing for KC as they reshape their backfield.
