"Walker arrives in Kansas City fresh off a historic postseason run with the Seattle Seahawks, capped by a Super Bowl LX MVP performance in Seattle's victory over the New England Patriots last month. The 25-year-old rushed for 135 yards on 27 carries in the championship game, becoming the first running back to win Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis did it with the Denver Broncos in 1998."
"For the Chiefs, the move represents a significant offensive investment as they look to bounce back from a disappointing six-win season. Pairing Walker with two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes instantly gives Kansas City a more dynamic backfield and adds a proven playmaker to an offense that struggled to find consistent production on the ground last season."
"Walker was among the most intriguing players in this year's running back market after finishing the 2025 season on a dominant note. During the regular season, he rushed for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns while splitting carries with Zach Charbonnet for much of the year. Walker played all 17 games for the first time in his career, showing the durability teams had hoped to see from him."
Kenneth Walker III joined the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $45 million contract featuring $28.7 million guaranteed. The 25-year-old running back won Super Bowl LX MVP with the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 135 yards in the championship victory and becoming the first running back to earn Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis in 1998. Walker finished the regular season with 1,027 rushing yards and five touchdowns while playing all 17 games. His signing represents a significant offensive investment for the Chiefs, pairing him with quarterback Patrick Mahomes to address ground-game inconsistencies from their disappointing six-win season. Walker becomes only the fourth Super Bowl MVP to join a different team the following season.
