Wide receiver Javon Walker (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5906), released by the Denver Broncos (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=den) on Friday, agreed to a deal with the division-rival Oakland Raiders (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=oak) on Tuesday.
A source told ESPN's Michael Smith that the terms of the deal call for Walker to receive a six-year, $55 million contract that includes more than $16 million in guarantees and pays him roughly $27 million over the first three years of the deal. The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the contract, said that Walker will receive a $6 million signing bonus and $5 million in salary in each of the first two years.
The Raiders also announced the signing of free-agent offensive tackle Kwame Harris (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6362) on Wednesday.
Soon after being released, at least a third of the league reached out to the six-year veteran.
Injuries limited Walker to eight games last season and he finished with 26 catches for 287 yards and no touchdowns.
He started the season with two 100-yard games before missing two months following a third knee operation.
Too bad, Slackers. Can't have this head case back. What a problem child.
