Raiders May Waive Javon Walker

[Hostile]

Curtain closing on Raiders’ high-priced 2008 signings

Posted: Adam Schefter

Last offseason, Oakland spent millions to sign CB DeAngelo Hall, S Gibril Wilson and WR Javon Walker.

Already, Hall and Wilson have been jettisoned — Hall cut during the season and Wilson after it. Now, Walker could be next.

Walker is due a $5 million bonus payment March 3. It is likely that the Raiders would rather release him than pay him. Thus, for the second straight offseason, an AFC West team is likely to release Walker.

If and when the Raiders release Walker, he will count against their salary cap for an eye-popping $14.16 million. It is a huge number to absorb, but the Raiders believe it is the right move to make.

Fortunately for the Raiders, they succeeded in retaining some of their own players this offseason, keeping both CB Nnamdi Asomugha and P Shane Lechler. Unfortunately for the Raiders, the curtain is coming down on their failed free-agent class of 2008.

Word was JW to Dallas was almost inevitable before the Raiders stepped in.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Wow do they have 20 million towards the cap between Javon and Hall and they arn't even on the roster?

 

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

so Al wants Crabtree

Well, looks like he is trying to get the next triplets. Russel, McFadden, and now Crabtree.

 

[BigDFan5]

Says they are likely to waive him not that he had been waived

 

[Rampage]

Well, looks loke he is trying to get the triplets. Russel, McFadden, and now Crabtree.

good luck with that, Al:laugh2:

Add about 15 million for Nnamdi Asomugha and you have over 35 million and get one guy's services...

That's pathetic. And that one player is a cornerback who hardly makes a impact on that 27th ranked defense.

 

[Stash]

Anyone who didn't realize that the NFL has passed Al Davis by need only look at the worst free agent spending spree in NFL history.

 

[big dog cowboy]

There is a reason the Raiders have a high draft pick every year.

That sucks...

That means Johnnie Lee Higgins is the man there...odds of getting Higgins are slim to none now :-(

lol, cause everyone else played so well on the Raiders? Walker wasn't worth the money they paid him, but a season on the Raiders probably isn't the best way to measure the guy.

Two years ago people were saying Randy was washed up when he wore the black and silver.

 

[jobberone]

I had read the Raiders were cash strapped and he's trying to sell more slices of the team but dang.

 

[djtavo]

Good move by Jerry for not taking him last season.

 

[Ren]

The Raiders make GM Jerry look good

 

[SLATEmosphere]

There's a reason why they have gone 7 connsecutive seasons with 10+ losses..

 

[CF74]

5-11, wow...
