Chicago Bears unlikely to sign Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker in 2026 NFL free agency

Ever since the Super Bowl, there has been buzz about the possibility of the Chicago Bears chasing Kenneth Walker in NFL free agency. The four-year NFL veteran is coming off of a season that saw him rush for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns. However, it was his performance in Super Bowl LX that has made him a hot name on the market.

Walker rushed for 135 yards and had 161 all-purpose yards in the Seattle Seahawks‘ dominating win over the New England Patriots.

But while he is expected to be among one of the most sought-after players in NFL free agency, it does not appear that the Bears will be the ones doing the chasing.

The Chicago Bears are not likely to sign Kenneth Walker in NFL free agency

According to Bryan Perez who covers the Bears for Sports Illustrated, Chicago fans should not count on the team being players for Walker for one very simple reason: they do not need him.

Perez wrote:

“The Bears simply don’t have a major need at running back.

“Chicago already features a productive backfield led by D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, allowing the offense to smash opposing defenses with high-level production. With the offensive system under head coach Ben Johnson designed to spread touches in a running back by committee, investing the $15 million per season or more that it could take to land Walker would seem foolish.”

This is most certainly true, as Chicago must focus more on improving its defensive line and finding quality offensive line depth. Those positions are not cheap, and free agency dollars will be better spent focusing on them instead of on running back.
