Raiders Ink Javon Walker…

The Raiders inked 29 year old Javon Walker to a six year deal worth $55 million, with $16 million guaranteed.  We have a strong feeling that no other team offered Walker even close to this amount of money, given his injury history. Listen, we really like Walker a lot, and we think he can bounce back from his knee trouble and be a productive fantasy WR once again.  However, we’re fifty-fifty on the Raiders actually being a good fit for him.  On the plus side, James Lofton is there now, and he can do some good things, and Walker is clearly the number one WR.  On the minus side, the Raiders have been a wasteland for wide receivers over the last several years with the likes of Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Jerry Porter and Doug Gabriel going there to waste away.

Fifth year RB Julius Jones visited the Lions, along with veteran LB Dan Morgan.  Niether of the players agreed to contracts, and we expect both of them to continue to test the waters a bit before landing.  In the end though, the Lions could be the best fit for both of them.

Warren Sapp, Former Raiders DL

It’s a bit ironic that the day Brett Favre retired, Warren Sapp did as well.  Of course, Sapp was completely overshadowed by Favre, and Sapp has no fantasy relevance what-so-ever.

T.J. Duckett, Seahawks RB

In an interesting move that could affect the landscape of the NFL Draft a bit, the Seahawks inked 26 year old RB T.J. Duckett to a five year deal.  Duckett could very easily steal plenty of work from Shaun Alexander in 2008, and he certainly makes Maurice Morris less relevant to fantasy owners.  Now that Seattle has three tailbacks, they’re very unlikely to draft one in April, despite the depth and strength of the incoming rookies at that position this season.
