Seahawks make crucial decision about Kenneth Walker III after awkward contract moment at Super Bowl parade
NY Post
The cost of winning the Super Bowl is already coming due in Seattle.
The Seahawks are unlikely to place the franchise tag on Kenneth Walker III, according to ESPN, who is preparing to enter free agency after a wildly successful playoff run which ended with the Seahawks defeating the Patriots, 29-13, in the Super Bowl and the running back earning MVP honors in the game.
Seattle has several free agents due for new contracts, including two secondary starters in Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen who will command a hefty price tag in free agency.
The Seahawks also acquired Rashid Shaheed ahead of the trade deadline, and they surely hope to re-sign him after he made a serious contribution on special teams and even made some plays on offense.
Perhaps, though, their biggest expense will be negotiating with superstar receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
While not a free agent this offseason, Smith-Njigba has a team option for the 2027 season, which Seattle likely hopes to tear up and give him a raise over multiple seasons.
