Seahawks never offered Walker a contract; he priced himself out after Super Bowl MVP run.

The Seahawks never made a formal contract offer to Walker before free agency, despite him being their Super Bowl MVP. Walker's postseason performance—135 rushing yards and MVP honors in the Super Bowl victory over New England, plus 313 rushing yards and four touchdowns across the final three playoff games—put him in such high demand that he effectively priced himself out of Seattle. The Chiefs ultimately signed him to a three-year, $43 million contract, making him one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL.
