Kenneth Walker III has made a significant move as he prepares to enter free agency, unfollowing the Seattle Seahawks on Instagram. The running back, who claimed the MVP award in Super Bowl 60 when the Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots, is now set to depart the franchise after they opted not to offer him a contract extension.
In a farewell gesture to Seattle, Walker shared some snaps on his Instagram story, indicating his departure from the team. The Seahawks drafted Walker with the No. 41 pick in the 2022 NFL draft, and during his four-year tenure with the team, he amassed impressive stats. Walker accumulated 3,555 yards and 29 touchdowns on 821 carries, along with 1,005 yards and two touchdowns on 133 receptions in 58 regular-season games. Additionally, he recorded 376 yards and five touchdowns on 80 attempts in four playoff appearances.
With his time in Seattle coming to an end, several teams have expressed interest in signing Walker in free agency. ESPN’s Dan Graziano has predicted that the Washington Commanders are likely to secure Walker’s services with a lucrative three-year, $44 million contract, including $22 million in guaranteed money. Despite the Commanders’ disappointing 5-12 record last season, they are looking to bounce back in the upcoming 2026 season led by Jayden Daniels.
As Walker prepares to embark on a new chapter in his NFL career, fans will be eagerly anticipating his next move and the impact he will have on his new team. Stay tuned for more updates on Kenneth Walker III’s free agency journey.
