The Kansas City Chiefs had a busy free agency period this offseason, headlined by the signing of Super Bowl MVP-winning running back Kenneth Walker III from the Seattle Seahawks . Walker figures to give the Chiefs a much-needed infusion of talent and playmaking in the offensive backfield after years of struggle in that department.

Recently, the star got 100 percent real on when he knew he would be leaving the Seahawks, and the answer might surprise some.
"I would say probably, if I'm being honest, probably like sometime during the season," Walker said. "You know, things ain't working out how I was expecting to, and that's all right. It worked out for the team. So sometime during the season and then we get to free agency, pretty much knowing like you weren't gonna be there no more," said Walker, per Mike Florio of NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk.
It's unclear what exactly brought Walker to that conclusion during the season, but it likely would have something to do with the $27 million in guaranteed money over the first two years that the Chiefs were willing to shell out in order to bring him in this offseason.
Walker also spoke on his excitement to join Kansas City .

"The team appreciates me over here and, like, being able to come somewhere there where you're appreciated," Walker said. "I definitely feel like I'll be getting the ball a lot, be making plays and, yeah, I'm excited for this season."
The Chiefs will hope that Walker is able to be paired with a healthy Patrick Mahomes , who is currently recovering from an ACL tear, next season for Kansas City.
The Chiefs' schedule for the 2026 campaign is slated to be released later this month.
