Denver Post: Cowboys keep Eye On Javon Walker

[theogt]

There is a reason Denver might cut him.

They don't want to pay him his contract. On the open market, he'd demand much less.

Bring Walker in and still draft a guy like Avery in round #2!

A 4th round Choice wouldn't be bad for him and if we get 3 years out of him great, maybe he'll like being back in Texas.

We'll see. If his knees are bad, just go in a different direction.

A lot of players have problems until they come to Dallas. Remember Terry Glenn was a problem but with Parcells in Dallas, he was great. Too bad it not likely he can contribute anything else to the Cowboys future. And look at TO since he came to Dallas. So I'd seriously think about Walker if he passes a very stringent physical and we can structure a 1 year contract (which costs minimally & contains incentives) with option for 1-2 years more.

+1 I'd give a 4rth for him in a heart beat even though if healthy he'd yield a #2...

 

[InDakWeTrust]

I would rather trade for their #2 WR, Brandon Marshall...

Still pass.

That boat passed us by last year for a much better WR... he is now in NE.

Only way I see this happening is if Jerry is intent on just getting a stop gap as our # 2 since he has such high hopes for Stanback.

Still, I think Jerry's learned his lesson on acuqiring guys with knee problems.

In 2006 Walker, backed by new agent Kennard McGuire, stated that he would not play for the Green Bay Packers again and would retire if he was not traded. Walker has been at odds with the organization since management refused to renegotiate his contract that had two years remaining on it after his Pro Bowl season in 2004, when he caught 89 passes for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. "I just don't like the way the organization runs itself", Walker told ESPN.com. "They want players to come up there and play hard and work hard, but when it comes time to be compensated, it's like, 'We forgot what you've done.'" Walker also said quarterback Brett Favre's comments on his plans to hold out for a better contract last year made living in Wisconsin difficult, and he felt it was unfair that the team let Favre interfere with Walker's squabble with management. "There's an unwritten rule that players stick together," Walker said. Walker said he would not show up for training camp or come back at all for the final season of his contract regardless of whether Favre decided to retire or return. He said he'll repay the Packers the prorated portion of his signing bonus to leave Green Bay. "Why should I risk another year of getting beat up playing for a team that I don't want to play for? That's stupid", Walker said. Walker said he'll be ready for the 2006 season wherever he lands. "If I'm going to go out and take hits, it's going to be for a team that I love playing for", Walker said. "I'm not going to grandstand. I just want the Packers to give me peace of mind."

On December 31, 2007 Walker stated that he is unhappy with the Broncos and wishes to be traded. He also stated that he would like to return to Green Bay, which is unlikely due to the breakout year by Greg Jennings and James Jones.

I think not. Javon Walker is a :loser:

Now this I agree with.

 

[BlueStar II]

If Walker is healthy, and the key word is "if", he can be a good WR.

I'd rather trade for Fitzgerald or R. Williams. But none of the above will be as dirt cheap as this guy.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would not mind getting Walker on a 2 year deal to allow time to develop a rookie WR. Most rookie WR tend to take some time and if I could plug in a player like Walker to help bridge the gap then I would do it. I do agree the injuries are a concern but I would expect a complete physical before any deal would be done.

I would give nothing higher than a 4th with an icentive ladden contract and low base salary, kinda like what we gave Tank.

I would also give Walker one heck of a physical before even considering a trade.

Sometimes you get what you pay for though.

Walker's injuries really scare me - esp. after what we went through with Glenn's knees.

I'd prefer to get someone else in FA, all things equal.

 

[Evendelae]

Brandon Marshall is not going anywhere.

And sometimes you find talented players that are on the trash heap due to injury for cheap.

 

[Bleu Star]

Pass.

I concur.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

do what we did w/ Colombo, don't place much expectations on him, and let him rehab his injury

that is predicated on Walker being cut, and then if he's willing to come here on the real cheap
