There were no serious discussions — on that day or any other — about Walker returning to the team that used a second-round draft pick on him in 2022. Walker’s postseason performance put him in such high demand that he effectively priced himself out of Seattle, which didn’t make a contract offer ahead of free agency, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Yeah, whether or not they give him a second contract or move on to another rookie. JS has given second contracts to RBs in the pastSibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2026 5:34 pmBut that's all about Schneider's stubborn adherence to runningback by committee. If Price becomes a top level RB in 3 years the same thing will play out again.

Yeah, we can make assumptions. There's also Walker maybe not being viewed as a fit. I've seen two interview blurbs ofJS. One was talking about how important FA is for the player, a chance finally to cash in on something they've spent their lives building for. I could see him not comfortable forcing Walker to play for seahawks. And another time talking about the RB position where he went on and on about injury risk. Both those might have played into itdouche wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2026 1:57 pmPerhaps it's a combination of the idea that the RB position isn't worth overpaying for, the position is generally viewed as more easily replaceable and the notion that running backs' careers are usually quite short. JS has always been a value guy, doesn't like to overpay for positions.
