Overview
- Seattle declined to use the franchise tag on the Super Bowl LX MVP, making Walker an unrestricted free agent as the new league year opens Monday with signings permitted starting Wednesday.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Walker will consider the Giants and Commanders, with the Titans also in play as finalists.
- Teams view roughly $12 million per year as a current ceiling, yet the Breece Hall franchise tag at $14.3 million and Walker’s MVP postseason have fueled expectations he could approach or exceed $15 million annually.
- The Giants have restructured Devin Singletary and, per reports, are creating additional cap flexibility that could support a bid for a premier running back.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter expects Walker to leave Seattle, and the Seahawks would need a backfield pivot given Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending ACL injury.
