Raiders Sign Javon Walker

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders signed former Pro Bowl receiver Javon Walker and free agent offensive tackle Kwame Harris, adding two offensive players the team hopes will help quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

Walker will receive a $6 million signing bonus and $5 million in salary in each of the first two years. The six-year deal could be worth up to $55 million, a person familiar with the contract said on condition of anonymity because the terms were not released.

Harris is guaranteed $3 million in the first year of his deal that would pay him $16 million over three years, the person said.

The signings fill positions of need for the Raiders, who are trying to build their offense around Russell, the first overall pick in last year's draft.

I know it was posted in the 'FA Signings' thread, but it's so crazy it needs his own topic.

Do you guys realize that Javon Walker, a guy that has been injured for more than half of his career & more likely than not will need to have career-threatening micro-fracture surgery in his bum leg, has signed a contract similar to Randy Moss', who set the TD record last year? This team will never be good again until Al Davis kicks the bucket.

The guy's an egocentric moron who refuses to be thought of as anything other than one of the best WR's in the league. I hope his tenure in the black hole goes as well as Randy Moss' did.​

Yea, the Raiders got what they needed in another WR. Hopefully Walker fully returns from his knee surgery though.
