Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenneth Walker III

Walker's Chiefs deal emerging as 2026 free agency steal at $14.35M average.

The source notes that the Chiefs' deal for running back Kenneth Walker III is looking like 'the steal of 2026 free agency.' At an average of $14.35 million per year, Walker is not even a top-5 running back by salary-related metrics; seven running backs exceed his average per year, eight exceed his total contract value, and six exceed his guaranteed dollars. Chiefs GM Brett Veach was 'clearly ahead of the curve on the RB market in 2026' by signing Walker early.
