I'm not so sure TT did anything wrong. Walker seems like a wacko and hasn't done much since his contract demand. Really, look at his production since he originally demanded the contract. He missted two of the years because of injury and had one good year. Had TT just given him the deal, we would be strapped with a big salary for a guy who can't stay on the field. I'm not so sure anything could have gone any better for TT in hindsight. Like most of Ted's moves, this one looks great after the test of time.Formerly known as JustinHarrell. -
[quote="vince"]Here's another article on the subject.
Still better than "Michael Vick needs to do what's best for Michael Vick""It's not that they don't want me here, but I just don't think it's the best fit for me," Walker said as he prepared to meet with coach Mike Shanahan for his exit interview.
"I just don't see it happening for me here," he said. "What it boils down to at this point is I've got to go where the best fit is for me. ... And if it's not the best situation for me [in Denver], it's the best situation for Brandon Marshall."
"Green Bay made me who I was for a team like this to want to bring me here," Walker said.
"Yeah, if they do want me back, I greatly appreciate it," he said. "If not, you've got to move on."The Bottom Line:

Carefull, you don't want to get Woody going on another insane rant of his. Speaking of whom, he has been, not suprisingly, absent from this thread.Originally posted by JustinHarrellComment

The way this is playing out if TT had handled it any different (like giving JTalk the PIN # to the Packers ATM card like many wanted him to) we would all be calling him an idiot.Originally posted by Bretsky
The emotionless and intelligent way he handled it was fine by me then and even more so now.Comment

I don't know if that is why. Denver has a nice offense with Cutler and Stokely and Marshall and a good run game, and they are still pretty good defensively. They could've easily slid into the 6th seed this year, they had some tough losses (OT to us for one). I think they CAN win next year, especially if Walker stays and returns to old form. No, this is about him being second dog to Marshall, Period. He wants to be the man, unfortunately, he's one hit away from a wheelchair.
Skinbasket, three million a year? Are you kidding me, maybe three million for a three year stretch, and even then, I probably wouldn't take him, cuz our guys are better."...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later. But nobody wants to win on that field anymore than I do, no one." Brett FavreComment

First, "assclown" continues to be a word that makes me LOL...and it does seem to apply to Javon.
Second, I don't think there's any way he comes back to GB. I have a feeling he doesn't fit the "Packer people" profile. Anybody who complains his way out of town -- and out of playing with a HOF QB -- the way he did gives me pause.
Third, I do think the age, injuries, and attitude will count against him, but he's pretty talented. I can think of a long list of teams who would consider bringing him into camp. If they took Fergy, wouldn't you think MIN would take a look at him?
DEN had a pretty bad offseason, with the Williams shooting, Nash's death, the Travis Henry saga, plus dealing with all the normal stuff like injuries, coaching changes, a young defense, breaking in a young QB. Maybe he thinks he needs a fresh start somewhere; maybe he's just a quitter. DEN was in the playoff hunt until the last 3 weeks of the season; they could have a better season next year.
His comments suggest he's a me-first guy who wants to play for a winner NOW, not wait a season or two. The irony is he missed out on GB and he'll probably do the same with DEN.
He's a talented head case. If Shanahan releases him, TT will pass.Comment

Petrino is the perfect fit for him
,
unfurtunately he is not in Atl anymore :PComment

Shanahan is a tough guy, and I can't see him releasing Walker outright... Makes him sit and honor the contract, and when "me" doesn't play, "me" doesn't get paid... Just a thoughtMy Two favorite teams are the Packers, and whoever plays the Vikings!Comment

Maybe Denver's GM can rip someone off to the tune of a second round draft pick for him.Originally posted by hurleyfan</delurk>Comment

That is a possibility.. but with his antics on two different teams over the past few years, I think a 2nd will be a stretch.Originally posted by Lurker64
There are teams that'll take suspect character players (Moss in NE) and the results are sometimes quite spectacular!My Two favorite teams are the Packers, and whoever plays the Vikings!Comment

Maybe Javon and his father aren't seeing eye to eye anymore. As I recall it was Javon's father who ran his mouth a couple years ago saying Javon would never play for the green and gold again and now here we have this article by Javon begging for the Packers to take him back.Comment

As for Walker, Denver will look to deal him in the coming months. The Broncos are reluctant to pay Walker the $5.4 million option bonus payment due to him. Denver surrendered a second-round pick to Green Bay two years ago and since then, Walker has battled injuries and controversy, the most recent coming Sunday when he said he didn’t want to return to Denver for next season.
Now Denver will seek to find a new home for Walker.
Teams in the market for free-agent wide receivers could choose from Oakland's Jerry Porter, New England's Jabar Gaffney or New Orleans' David Patten, among others. But rather than signing a free-agent wide out, teams could decide to trade for one.
At least one, and possibly two, will be available.
