Chiefs News 3/9: Travis Kelce is expected to play in 2026, but where?

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs and Broncos are interested in both Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne and Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker, although Etienne appears to be more coveted by them.

Fowles goes on to note that Walker and Etienne could command as much as $12 million per year, and maybe more if enough teams get involved.

“Etienne has AFC West love via Denver and Kansas City. Both of those teams could check on Walker and others, too, depending on price ranges,” Fowler reported.

The Chiefs have a pair of running backs set to hit the open market in Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, but the expectation is Kansas City will let both walk in free agency search of an upgrade.

In Denver, the Broncos need a new running mate for RJ Harvey, as it doesn’t seem the team is keen on bringing J.K. Dobbins back after yet another injury-shortened season, which has been a common occurrence during his career.
