They way overpaid for Walker. He is coming off an injury and his production was way down. I don't know what the thought process was on this one? It sounds like the Raiders are taking page out of the redskins 06 free agent signing playbook. Walker is a good player, but given his injury situation, I would have made his deal real short and incentive driven. That way, he could prove that he is worth all that money and then if he earned it, they could pay him for what he had done.
If the redskins were to get him, I think that is the type of contract that they should have done. Given him incentives and then afterwards, if he accomplished those, he could get a long-term deal.
