SEATTLE - Seattle Seahawks running back and Super LX MVP Kenneth Walker II has reportedly signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's a reported 3-year deal, a $45 million max deal with a base of $14.35M per year, $28.7 nillion is fully guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Walker, 25, also posted "Chiefs Kingdom" on X on Monday morning.

Last week, the Seahawks did not use their franchise tag on Walker ahead of the league's deadline to tag players.

Walker had 135 yards rushing in Seattle’s 29-13 Super Bowl victory over New England last month.

While the defense carried Seattle for much of the postseason, Walker was once again the engine of the offense by rushing for 135 yards and adding 26 receiving for his third straight 100-yard game from scrimmage in the postseason. He became the first running back since Terrell Davis 28 years ago to win Super Bowl MVP.
