Walker has been bandied about as a possible target for the tag, though Adam Schefter reported it was unlikely last week. This could perhaps be another space for the transition tag, as Breece Hall is learning. That tag would simply allow the Seahawks to match any offer Walker signs in free agency. Regardless of what they do, with Zach Charbonnet likely out well into the season, the Seahawks are heavily incentivized to keep Walker.
