The Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and New York Giants are all in the market for a running back this offseason.
The Chiefs have a pair of pending free agents at the position in Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco and desperately need a more explosive upgrade.
Denver has its own pending free agent at the position in J.K. Dobbins and it's quite possible they will move on from him given his injury issues popped up once again last season.
The Giants are the least obvious running back suitor of the three teams, with New York having Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary under contract, but rumors continue to swirl that New York is aiming for a big addition at the position.
According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, the Chiefs, Giants and Broncos have interest in Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker, who Spotrac projects will receive a $36 million deal that spans four seasons.
"I think Walker will have a healthy market, with the Chiefs, Broncos and Giants among the teams trying to wrestle him from the Seahawks," Breer wrote.
Walker had a very good season for the Seahawks in 2025 that ended with him being a playoff hero and Super Bowl MVP. He would no doubt be the explosive addition all three teams could use with his big-play ability.
Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports reports that, while the Seahawks want to keep Walker, they are also fully expecting to be priced out of Walker's market, which Pauline adds could lead to a deal that pays him a whopping $13 million per.
The only team out of the three mentioned here that should even consider spending that much on a running back in free agency is the Broncos, who were one Bo Nix injury away from making it to the Super Bowl last season.
The Giants already have a good enough running backs room that it would be silly to spend this much on Walker, and the Chiefs need to be focusing on getting their ducks in a row for the long haul instead of breaking the bank at the position.
