Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III has agreed to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Walker is receiving a three-year deal with a $43.05 million base value and $28.7 million fully guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Brady Henderson.
The Chiefs felt improving their rushing attack was one of their top priorities this offseason. The Chiefs were intrigued by Walker’s ability to make dynamic highlights, even when the Seahawks’ offensive line didn’t create clear running lanes for him. Last season, Walker forced 61 missed tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, and generated 10 rushes in which he gained 20 or more yards.
The running back’s MVP performance in Super Bowl LX capped arguably the best season of his four-year career with the Seattle Seahawks.
