Big Score 1 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Broncos WR Lelie wants upgrade or tradeBill Williamson 4/19/2006 The Broncos also have discussed the possibility of trading for disgruntled Green Bay receiver Javon Walker, who could be dealt before or during the draft. Lelie and a midround pick might be enough to entice Green Bay to part with Walker. www.denverpost.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Since when is ACL surgery such a big deal for a WR? If teams (like Denver, according to Pasquarelli) are trying to use that as a reason not to give up as much in a deal, then Thompson should tell them to go f*ck themselves. Walker injured his knee in WEEK ONE of 2005. He'll have almost an entire year of recovery under his belt when training camp starts -- that's PLENTY of time for a WR to come back from ACL surgery. Plus, even WITH a slightly gimpy knee, Walker is a 1200 & 10 WR. I honestly hope we hold onto him, wait 5-6 games for him to prove himself, then extend his contract. 1426437[/snapback] Or wait for 5 weeks to show other teams he is a stud and then trade him. If he wants to be traded he needs to show how good he is. I would rather keep him. Teams are taking advantage of his demanding to be traded to get a top WR for nothing. McNabb was hurt last year. We'll give you a 4th round pick for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll walk next year as a UFA and the Pack will end up with nothing for him. My bet is Walker is involved in a draft day trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker will sit out the first 10 games, play the last 6 games and become a UFA next year. EDIT: Of course this only happens if the Pack stubbornly insist on hanging onto Walker this year. I don't think they're that stupid though. Edited April 19, 2006 by Big Score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 all I hear from Packer fans is he's at least worth a 2nd...regardless of the torn ACL and his holdouts.. 1426917[/snapback] they're delusional. he's refused to play for them, but he's worth a first round pick. he's coming off an ACL, but he's worth a first round pick. GB can really get tough and "call his bluff", and he'll sit on his ass for half a season, report for the last 6 games and collect a few hundred grand for being useless, and then he'll be gone the next year and green bay will get nothing for him. that'll really be "showing him" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a big catch 22. 1427708[/snapback] And this shows why you should listen to your AGENT! He was told not to report to camp till he got his money. Now everyone got amneisha(sp) But he would have got his money then. But no he do what Farve say and report. End up hurt. And now Farve not doing his part. Showing up and saying one way or another. He under contract. The double standard I tell ya. Some people should do what the real pro's suppose to do. Stay out of other people contract and just do your job. Because now Farve is doing what he wants and the team really dont know which way to turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Walker has one year remaining on his original five-year contract with the Packers at a base salary of $1.15 million. He underwent reconstructive knee surgery Oct. 7.' I heard with the new CBA he can't sit out and play the final 6 games anymore. Edited April 19, 2006 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I heard with the new CBA he can't sit out and play the final 6 games anymore.1428108[/snapback] Randall I've shown you your understanding of the new CBA was wrong once already here. But, again; • Teams can't get back signing-bonus money if a player voluntarily retires; that has to be negotiated into a player's contract. In the past, teams could ask a player to pay back the proration of the remaining part of his contract if he retires in the early stages or in the middle of the contract . • If a player retires and skips a good portion of the season against a team's wishes, the team must take him back under his existing contract and can't force him to give back any of the signing bonus. If the team wants to fight him for portions of the signing bonus, it has to release him and give him a chance to find another team.
