his current contract is undervalued for his play, and getting him in a trade means we don't have any bonus money on our books, making the contract cheaper (And then you can extend and convert and keep a lot of free cap space this year to get briggs)... more than likely he'd want a new contract, but either way, for a 2nd, he'd still be worth it. Moss, TO, CJ... those are real difference makers at WR, and if he's up, he's worth fighting for, especially since we got the rest of the offense squared away now.

We have to spend money in other areas of need.
I think we are going to have to hope Espy, Mix or Thrash can step up next year.

Distraction ? How ? Because of his interviews ? His play on the field is worth it to me.

Creating bulletin board material, we don't need that.

Sounds like Walker has made a bad name for himself. Can't argue w/that, but I still think the skins will at least listen to offers from denver & if they want to get rid of him you know they'll call here first.

I'm not a fan of bringing in C. Johnson, I think he's become more of a problem w/age. I see Walker as a better fit than Johnson, but I'm not for bringing in either if it costs a high draft pick.

I saw on JLC's blog that Mix was signed to a 3 yr. deal so maybe the Mix fans here will get a chance to see the kid play at WR. The fact that he signed a 3 yr. deal that late in the year says something, the front office & coaches must want to give him a chance & thought he might get scooped up elsewhere if they didn't sign him beyond this season. Usually players signed to a roster that late in the year are only for the rest of the season.

Let's hope the kid becomes a dependable wr & we don't need to draft or pick any up in free agency.

Let me remind you, he had one solid year for Green Bay and is getting higher than deserving ratings, and has since. It's been 4 years!!!

Walker is damaged goods bud. A good receiver no doubt, but injury prone. Get a tall young stud via the draft and at a cheaper price and we should be fine. I almost think we should go after 2 of them in the mold of Plaxico Burress or Marques Colston. We need tall guys tht can outjump or leap any CB.

Not to mention that he has wanted out of both teams he has played for. No thanks.

But is Chad Johnson on the trade block?

SouperMeister · 01-08-2008, 02:19 PM

I want no part of Javon Walker. First, he's coming off a significant knee injury and doesn't seem to be the same player as he was prior. Second, this is his 2nd stop where he was a malcontent - recall his grumbling in GB that led to his trade to Denver. Third, he wasn't even the best receiver on a bad Denver team - rookie Brandon Marshall blew by him at Cutler's favorite WR target. Marshall is yet another example of a big, physical WR deemed too slow that makes an impact despite being drafted after the first round. We can do better than overpaying Javon Walker, that's for damn sure.

memphisskin · 01-08-2008, 02:30 PM

I don't think the Broncos are going to let Javon Walker go anywhere, and I don't know if I like his attitude even if they did. Walker had a Pro Bowl season last year, this year he gets hurt and now he's pouting about Brandon Marshall's role? Don't bring any more malcontents in here, either let Mix play or go draft someone but I don't want anyone else's problems.
