Walker Might Not Pass Physical

He didn't pass the Wonderlic, and now he might not pass his physical.

'BOYS EYEING JAVON?

So Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to put some "wow" into the offense? One possibility we're hearing about is by acquiring receiver Javon Walker from the Broncos.

A league source tells us that the Cowboys are working on a deal that would bring Walker to Big D. The problem, however, is Walker's knee. He tore an ACL during the first game of the 2005 regular-season, and he missed plenty of time in 2007, his second year in Denver, due to lingering problems with it.

There's a chance, said the source, that Walker wouldn't pass a physical.

If Walker were to land in Dallas, however, things could get interesting. Said the source: "Can you picture [Terrell] Owens' reaction? Walker has pissed people off in Green Bay and Denver because he wants the ball so much. They are supposedly friends so I'm sure they think it could work but it would be fun to watch."

Owens and Walker made plenty of headlines three years ago in their efforts to get new contracts. Both threatened to hold out and, in the end, both caved.

Walker was traded to Denver in April 2006, and received the new contract he craved. After a solid first season with the Broncos, the team picked up an option for 2007. In hindsight, it's yet another poor decision from Denver's de facto G.M.

Trading Walker for a 2nd just looks better and better every year.

Not just because of his injury history with the knee, but because of how he's come across in the press. Great receivers are nice to have, but you can definitely win championships without them. That said, I don't know that I'd call Javon a great receiver anymore. Perhaps he can make a comeback, but he's got to mature. Funny thing is, I thought he was so mature back when I read how he came up to Favre on a plane back from a pre-season game with Oakland and told Favre how sorry he was and that he'd work hard to improve, and Favre was like, it's ok man, it'll come. That told me that he cared about getting better and helping the team, and he was a rookie then. I guess once he made his mark and showed what he could do, then his personality morphed into more of a guy with some attitude. You always like the guys who never think they've arrived, but you clearly see how talented they are.

For some reason I don't think both sides would do that thing differently next time. I think Ted would take a 4th for that douche bag right now.
