Five Teams Eye Kenneth Walker III in 2026 Free Agency

Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III enters the 2026 NFL free-agent market as one of the top backs after a 1,309-yard from-scrimmage season and pivotal playoff performances. Bleacher Report identifies five frontrunners—Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Commanders—while Seattle is expected to pursue a re-signing. With Spotrac estimating Walker’s value near $8.4 million per year, his decision will hinge on price, cap space, and each team’s backfield plans, though Walker has expressed a preference to stay in Seattle if the deal makes sense.
