Walker played a key role in the Seahawks’ run to the Super Bowl, finishing the postseason with 417 yards and four touchdowns.
Last week, KIRO 7 reported that the team decided not to use its franchise tag on the running back.
Sources told The Athletic that Walker agreed to a three-year free-agent contract worth up to $45 million, including $28.7 million guaranteed.
On Monday, starting at 9 a.m., teams were allowed to begin negotiating with all unrestricted free agents—and it didn’t take long for Walker to find a new team.
As of this reporting, other Seahawks who could become free agents this week include: safety Coby Bryant, cornerback Josh Jobe, tackle Josh Jones, outside linebacker Boye Mafe, receiver/return specialist Rashid Shaheed, linebacker Chazz Surratt, cornerback Riq Woolen and receiver Dareke Young.
