Chiefs get Walker, 49ers land Evans
Kenneth Walker is joining the Kansas City Chiefs, while Mike Evans is heading to the San Francisco 49ers 2026 NFL offseason moves tracker: Instant fantasy reaction to latest free agent signings and trades.
Walker's arrival in Kansas City could provide a much-needed boost to their running game, which has been inconsistent in recent seasons. The Chiefs have been searching for a reliable running back to complement their passing attack, and Walker's explosiveness and versatility could make him a valuable asset. Evans' move to San Francisco gives the 49ers a proven receiver to pair with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. This addition could create a dynamic passing offense and open up opportunities for all three receivers. The 49ers were looking to add a veteran presence to their receiving corps, and Evans brings a wealth of experience and a track record of success. His ability to win contested catches and make plays in the red zone could be particularly valuable for San Francisco.
