The Super Bowl 60 champion Seattle Seahawks have some very difficult decisions to make in the coming year.

Of their free agents, Kenneth Walker III is the most pressing. The Super Bowl MVP, Walker, might be on his way out if the Seahawks cannot come to terms with him.
According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the latest update on Walker is not good news, as Seahawks fans might've seen the last of Walker in a Seahawks uniform in Super Bowl 60.

"Kenneth Walker III, who sounds like he's generating enough outside interest to spell the end of his time in Seattle," Graziano reports.
The Seahawks need a running back with Zach Charbonnet coming off a torn ACL. Walker would be an ideal fit in the offense to fill such a role. But this is a rough update for the Super Bowl MVP.
Graziano is reporting that the Seahawks star running back, who had 1,027 rushing yards and five touchdowns in a split backfield in 2025, is drawing serious interest from around the NFL.
With that strong interest, there's a good chance that Walker could be on his way out of Seattle. The Seahawks have too many other needs to address to spend so much at the running back position.

If the Seahawks didn't have Charbonnet, signing Walker might be more realistic, as they wouldn't have a good option on the roster.
But with Charbonnet on the roster, Seattle won't need a long-term running back this offseason. A one-year rental, or a veteran like Aaron Jones on a minimum contract to get Seattle through the beginning of the season, makes a lot of sense.
Seeing Walker, the Super Bowl 60 MVP, leave just a few months after leading Seattle to their second Lombardi would sting.
For the fans, losing Walker would be a sad reality. But, with so much money needing to be allocated to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon, among other bigger needs, Walker's departure from Seattle seems more likely be the day.
