"I kept calling E.J. to come up here, and we would have had one of the most dangerous backfields ever," he said. "Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen co-existed.

Walker, who publicly has threatened to retire instead of play for the Packers again, is under contract to Green Bay for the 2006 season. Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he has "received inquiries" about Walker and would listen to any proposed deals. The Packers have not publicly given Walker permission to seek a trade on his own.
