Kenneth Walker Called Out by ‘Drunk’ Seahawks GM in Moment Chiefs Fans Say Sealed His Exit

A resurfaced video from the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl LX parade shows general manager John Schneider publicly joking that Kenneth Walker tried negotiating a contract with him during the celebration. Chiefs fans online suggested the awkward exchange contributed to Walker's free agency departure, though Walker promptly disputed the claim on social media at the time.

Ahead of Walker's return to Seattle with Kansas City, reporting revealed financial and usage differences were central to his exit. Seattle reportedly capped their offer near $10 million annually to maintain a committee backfield, leading Walker to sign a three-year contract averaging $14.35 million per season with the Chiefs.
