BLACK HOLE CONTINUES TO SPEW BLACK GOLD
There's a theory making the rounds in league circles that the Oakland Raiders are trying to reverse a perception of dysfunction by becoming the team that splurges more than any other in free agency. Already, we've heard that multiple agents are using the readiness of the Raiders to overpay as leverage in negotiations.
Though, eventually, the Raiders will run out of money, they've still got enough to ink receiver Javon Walker to a blockbuster deal.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Walker has agreed to terms on a six-year, $55 million deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money.
Walker will earn $27 million over the first three years of the contract.
Wow.
The former first-round pick of the Packers tore an ACL in 2005, and was traded in April 2006 to Denver. He signed a long-term deal including significant option/roster bonuses in years two and three. The Broncos kept him after a strong 2006, but dumped him following a subpar 2007 that was plagued by problems with the same knee that he injured more than two years ago.
