- Walker is set to hit the market in March after completing his rookie deal, and Seattle enters the offseason with roughly $72 million in cap space.
- The franchise tag for running backs is estimated around $14 million, though Schneider has rarely used the tag during his tenure.
- Spotrac pegs Walker’s market at about $9 million AAV over four years, while other projections after his postseason surge reach the $13–15 million range.
- Zach Charbonnet’s torn ACL leaves Seattle thin at running back, as potential suitors are linked to Walker — including the Commanders and Jaguars — even as some analysts forecast he likely stays in Seattle.
