Randall Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 MILWAUKEE -- The Green Bay Packers signed free agent cornerback Frank Walker to a one-year deal that could be worth nearly $1.5 million with incentives, agent Harold Lewis said Tuesday. Lewis said Walker, who spent the past four seasons with the New York Giants, will compete for the Packers' nickel cornerback job next season. Green Bay's Al Harris and Charles Woodson are one of the NFL's best starting cornerback tandems, but the Packers struggled to find a consistent third cornerback last season. Lewis said Walker might have been the Giants' best coverage cornerback last season, but Giants coach Tom Coughlin believed Walker was too aggressive. "He's tough," Lewis said. "Sometimes, a little too tough." In November, Walker delivered a big hit on Tennessee Titans cornerback Vince Young on a fourth-down play but was called for a personal foul to extend the drive. The Titans went on to score a touchdown on the drive and won the game; Coughlin called the play "stupid." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Green Bay needs quality behind Woodson and Harris, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
