Another Receiver

Porter- Jacksonville. Wilford- Miami. Hackett- Available, but injury prone.

 

The Broncos released wide receiver Javon Walker today, an NFL source confirmed.

Walker had spent two bittersweet seasons with the Broncos. Acquired from the Green Bay Packers in 2006 in exchange for a second-round draft pick, Walker overcame reconstructive knee surgery to lead the team with 69 receptions, 1,084 yards and eight receiving touchdowns in 2006. He started strong in 2007, recording 17 receptions for 220 yards through the Broncos' first two games, both victories, however Walker's right knee began troubling him to the point he needed a second surgical procedure on the knee at mid-season.

He returned late, but struggled to regain form and finished with 26 catches for 287 yards. The day after the season ended, Walker publicly stated he didn't think he fit into the Broncos' offense and stated a desire to play elsewhere.

The Broncos attempted to trade Walker in recent days, but released him in lieu of paying him a $5.4 million option bonus due March 4.

The Dallas Cowboys have shown interest in Walker and may be in position to quickly sign him. Other teams interested include the Buccaneers, the Jets and the Redskins

 

Nah, Stevie's braids make him a corner.

 

I still think Favre ought to give Walker a couple of million dollars to make things right. He pressured Walker to end his hold out. Walker did and then tore his knee up in his first game back. He has not been right since and as a result he lost many millions of dollars that he would have otherwise earned....

 

That youtube of Jarrett was interesting. I saw immaturity, poor route running, and a noticeable lack of speed. I'll give him this, though -- dude can take a hit. He'll definitely go over the middle when called.

 

Al Davis is going to do farve a solid.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Walker has agreed to terms on a six-year, $55 million deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money.​

Walker will earn $27 million over the first three years of the contract

This on a guy who may need micro fracture surgery.
