As far as Javon Walker goes…a couple of days ago we had this:
”At least 10 teams have been in contact with the agent for the wide receiver who was released Friday by the Denver Broncos, including all four NFC East clubs, according to a source.”
”The Cowboys and Eagles have a couple connections working in their favor in pursuit of Walker. Dallas receivers coach Ray Sherman coached Walker in Green Bay. Walker is friends with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and the two have been training together in Arizona for several weeks.”

You have to pay up to compete with Jerry Jones and then there’s the Eagles who just missed signing Moss according to reports, it´s possible Walker was next on their list.
16 million guaranteed is a lot, but again…
Stallworth and Porter, who have never performed as a #1 WR and have never reached 1000 yds. in a season received 10 million guarateed, hell Andre Davis got 8 million guaranteed. Walker, when healthy is head and shoulders above any of them.
And you have to remember one thing, a liitle over one year ago, Darrent Williams died in this guy´s arms, that sort of stuff can mess a man up for a while.
As for his health, from the ”been training with McNabb for weeks” reports, sounds like he should be allright.
