Scratch Walker off Bucs' list
Recently-released Broncos wideout Javon Walker won't be coming to Tampa Bay despite the Bucs' interest in the veteran.
The NFL Network reports Walker has agreed to sign a staggering six-year, $55-million deal with the Raiders. The contract will reportedly pay Walker $16-million in guaranteed money.
The Bucs need some receiving help, but not that bad. This is far more than anyone could have predicted Walker would make on the open market. Given the concerns about a knee injury that has required three operations in the past few years and caused him to miss two months in 2007, it seems particularly risky to give Walker a contract of that size.
Regardless, the Bucs will have one less playmaker to choose from after this deal is consummated.
