The Los Angeles Rams have no issue with Kenneth Walker exploring financial opportunities in the AFC
WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. The Los Angeles Rams would be more than happy if Kenneth Walker III left the NFC West and the conference all together.Breer Believes Seattle Might Get Outbid For Walkerbelieves an AFC contender is willing to offer Walker the money he deserves.
"Now, Andy Reid’s history would tell you that Kansas City might be hesitant to do it," stated Breer. "But the Chiefs engaged the Jets before the trade deadline on a potential deal for Breece Hall, and GM Brett Veach said at his press conference here that the team will be actively looking to get more explosive in the run game this offseason."

Rebilas-Imagn Images "While drafting Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love would be a more economical way to accomplish that, there’s no assurance that a guy who many see as the draft’s top player, even at a devalued position, will be there when the Chiefs pick at No. 9." "It’s also worth noting that some pretty smart teams have come around recently on investing at the position, partly on the premise that running backs have been devalued to the point where they’ve become valuable again. You’ll remember, two offseasons ago, the Eagles, Packers and Ravens—three smart teams—spent big on free agents Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and Derrick Henry. Safe to say two seasons later, those were sound investments."

That was until the Rams ran into Kenneth Walker. While the Rams' regular-season trip to Carolina exposed holes, it was Walker who took advantage, using his speed, patience, and shiftiness to run over the Rams, putting in his second 100 yard performance of the regular season.

When given the Lions' share in the playoffs after Charbonnet suffered a season-ending injury, Walker was fantastic, and the threat of Walker made the Seahawks play action passing attack impossible to defend during the Rams' loss in the NFC Championship Game.will be able to focus on attacking Sam Darnold instead of worrying about Walker.
