Darwin Walker Returns?
NFL.com’s Adam Schefter reports that Darwin Walker could be an Eagle again (since he’s never reported to Buffalo has he really ever left?) if he doesn’t get his contract extension and go to Bills’ training camp.
Says Schefter, “Buffalo and Philadelphia completed one trade this spring and, in another two months, the two teams could complete another.
It's the hidden Part II of the Part I trade completed in March, when former Bills linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb were sent to Philadelphia in exchange for former Eagles defensive tackle Darwin Walker and a 2008 seventh-round draft choice.
While formulating the trade, the Bills and Eagles agreed that if Walker did not report to Buffalo for training camp by Aug. 5, then he would revert to Eagles property and the Bills would get the Eagles sixth-round pick in 2008.
It is a possibility that seems more real each day. So the sequel to the Walker trade could be just over two months away and it will depend, as so much in the league does, on a new contract.”
A pretty good deal for the Eagles how ever this plays out. Imagine Takeo Spikes and Kelly Holcomb for a 7th rounder this year and a 6th rounder next year.
Still, I can’t believe Walker hasn’t seen the moves the Eagles have already made on the defensive line and be too eager to come back to the nest. Rayburn was already shown the door earlier this month because of the crowd at D-tackle. Walker would just add to the congestion. So while he wants a new contract, there is some incentive on his side to make a deal with the Bills before August 5.
