Seahawks don’t place tag on RB Kenneth Walker III
SEATTLE — As expected, the Seahawks did not place a franchise or transition tag on running back Kenneth Walker III by Tuesday’s 1 p.m. deadline. The deadline came and went a few hours after there were multiple reports from national NFL writers reiterating that it was expected Walker would not get tagged. Not being tagged means Walker, who won Super Bowl MVP honors when the Seahawks beat the Patriots, 29-13, on Feb. 8, will likely become an unrestricted free agent next week, able to begin negotiating with other teams on Monday morning and to sign with another team on Wednesday afternoon.
