K9, I moved on from him a long time ago. Good luck in the future. I’ll ride with the TEAM.

Who knows why he couldn't make it, or if he just didn't want to go. Honestly if I were getting a Superbowl ring and have a chance to see some of the guys I won it with, it would be hard to miss that celebration. But it is what it is the Hawks cannot keep every good player and every good player dosent want to stay. K9 obviously felt like he was more important than he was given credit for. I love K9 but I dont see him staying healthy all year as the number one back. But I think if he wanted to show he was the bigger player, than maybe not go to a team that has Mahomes. He should do well with KC because that team will be in the conversation of Superbowl contenders with or without K9.

Why would anyone want to come back to a company that clearly didn't want him and then showed him the way to the exit. Personally, I'd have been pretty sad about it. He's got a SB MVP and a SB ring. Don't understand why there is so many butt hurt members here. There's just nothing about him to dislike,

Bro, just look at Tariq Woolen, his situation was similar but 10x worst because he didnt get any heroics (quite the opposite letting the Rams back in on stupid penalty and then giving up the TD on the next play, and then being the one to ruin the shutout in the SB). The team likely didn’t even talk to his agents to try to bring him back and that alone probably threw up so many red flags to other gms, derailed his market, and he had to settle for a 1 year prove deal with the Eagles.

And Woolen still came back despite having the longest flight and not only that of all the FA that moved on Dareke Young and Kenneth Walker literally had the shortest flights.

Sure Walker’s new team can take priority but still its kind of punch in the face to all the people that sacrificed and put their bodies on the line for him, the people that he bled and sweat with as brothers, the people that despite what he might feel gave him a hell of an opportunity. He could have went to a worse off team and be nobody. He could have gotten 2/3rds of the work load and got injured and missed the playoffs, and not gotten paid. Its a punch to the face to his fanbase especially the ones that bought his jersey and spent their own time idolizing or defending him every step of the way.

I get that he’s shy, quiet, and introverted but still theres really no excuse other than he could not care any less about any of it. And thats cool and thats his own decision, doesn’t mean we cant talk about it, especially when he missed out such a great presentation and perhaps a once in a lifetime celebration that he might regret one day.

This right here
Would have been great to see him there, but he doesn't owe us anything. He busted his ass, filled his role admirably at a cap hold well below the value he brought, and never caused any problems for anyone. I'm glad to see that, for the most part, fans aren't acting petty. I hope he kills it this year, and his team is awful in spite of it.
