FROM FBG: Javon Walker runs a no-route, with stiff-arm for Packers
Summary:: What part of "no" don't the Green Bay Packers understand?
In an interview Tuesday morning, Javon Walker's stepfather said not money, not the passage of time and not the retirement of Brett Favre could change the wide receiver's aversion for the team that drafted him in the first round in 2002.
"They could give him a $15 million signing bonus and he would decline it," Charles Goldsmith said. "I think everybody is thinking it's going to blow over and Javon's going to show up. He's not showing up. I mean, he is absolutely not showing up. Period. At all."
During a 35-minute conversation, there were 23 occasions in which Goldsmith categorically and almost matter-of-factly said Walker's days as a Packer were over.
Last month, Goldsmith sat next to Walker when he discussed his future with coach Mike McCarthy for about half an hour.
"He said, 'It has nothing to do with you,'" Goldsmith said. "He said, 'I don't want to play in Green Bay ever again and I'm not coming back.' He said, 'If you force me to come back, you're really going to have a terrible cancer on your hands.'
Our View: Not much to add after that last line above. We believe Javon Walker won't play for the Packers in 2006. He will likely be traded as he could show up in week 10 to earn the year and become a free agent. We doubt the Packers are going to want this distraction all year though.
All i can say is, "WHAT A JERK". Before there was the talk of Vince Youngs Wonderlic score, there was Javon Walker's Wonderlic score. He is an IDIOT! Without a Brett Favre type arm he is just another "in-the-middle-of-the-pack" receiver like Robert Brooks and Donald Driver.
