Javon Walker Update
Good article over at Packer Chatters... I tend to agree with them... Walker will be in GB or the Pack will need to see a Blockbuster trade including a #1... and that aint likely to happen.
Packers Broncos trade probaby hot air
Denver CO - A trade for wide receiver Javon Walker would make sense for the Broncos, but it might not make the most sense for the Packers, the team that controls Walker's future. Denver definitely is interested, as are Philadelphia and San Francisco, and Pittsburgh, New England and Buffalo might join the list of interested teams. But Green Bay is just as interested in keeping Walker, despite his proclamations that he won't play for the Packers again.
The word at the NFL owners meetings this week was that Green Bay officials are firm in their regard for Walker. They plan to hold off on trading him unless they are bowled over by an offer. It likely would take a first-round pick, and that's probably too steep a price. That's why nothing is likely to happen until the draft - if the Packers decide to trade him.
The Packers don't have much at receiver and they are counting on Walker. A Pro Bowl player when healthy, Walker is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He also will be a free agent at the end of the 2006 season. His threats to sit out the season or retire are hollow. For a player who wants more money, he needs to play this year.
The Packers know it, so the idea of Walker playing in Denver probably won't come true.
