Chiefs' Kenneth Walker Set for Seattle Return

Kenneth Walker III, Seattle’s Super Bowl MVP last season, is thriving with the Kansas City Chiefs after signing a three-year contract worth about $43 million in free agency. He leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards and has scored six rushing touchdowns, while the 3-3 Seahawks are struggling to replace his production and strengthen their ground game. Reports say Seattle had concerns about Walker’s availability and was reluctant to meet his market price, though accounts differ on whether it made a limited offer or no offer. Ahead of the teams’ Week 7 matchup in Seattle, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald praised Walker while acknowledging the challenge of containing him. Seattle’s defense has been solid against the run, but focusing on Walker could create opportunities for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.
