A former Michigan State football star will be one of the most prized players on the NFL free agent market when the new league year opens.
Former Spartans legend Kenneth Walker III will reportedly be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens next week. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Walker will not receive the franchise tag from the Seattle Seahawks, making him available to sign wherever he’d like to go next season.
Walker has appeared in 58 games for the Seahawks since being drafted by Seattle in 2022. In his time with the Seahawks, he has recorded 3,555 rushing yards, 29 rushing touchdowns, 1,005 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Additionally, Walker starred for the Seahawks during their Super Bowl run this past season, winning the Super Bowl MVP as well.
It’ll be interesting to see where Walker ends up, with running backs not being valued as much as they once were. But he is certainly a special talent that’ll definitely put him towards the top of the list of available free agents this offseason. I would expect him to get a very nice payday wherever he lands for next season.
