The Seattle Seahawks will not be placing the franchise or transition tags on running back Kenneth Walker, reported ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter on Tuesday. He reported this as "breaking news," but the truth was always far clearer to 12s.
Seahawks fans knew general manager John Schneider wasn't going to tag anyone. He has only placed the franchise tag on two players. One was, oddly, kicker Olindo Mare in Schneider's first year with the team, 2010. The other was in 2019 when the team had worked out a tag-and-trade deal with the Kansas City Chiefs for Frank Clark.
