Bucs Ready To Deal For Javon Walker?

Published: February 22, 2008
TAMPA - The first day of testing at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis provided at least one rumor involving the Bucs.
In an effort to solve their need for another impact wide receiver, the Bucs are believed to be talking to the Denver Broncos about a deal that would land them disgruntled wideout Javon Walker.
No one associated with either team or Walker would confirm the reports, but that doesn't mean a deal isn't in the works.
The Bucs are on the lookout this offseason for playmakers, and Walker is looking to get away from the Broncos, for whom he played in just eight games last year, catching 26 passes for 287 yards and no touchdowns.
One thing that could scuttle such a deal is the Bucs' inability to give the Broncos what they want in return.
The Bucs could offer draft picks for Walker, who is 29 and spent most of last year nursing a knee problem, but the Broncos are believed to be looking for an impact defensive tackle.
Though Jovan Haye gave them the best play they have had at that position in years, the Bucs are in the market for a defensive tackle themselves.
They have had brief discussions with the agent for Rod Coleman, and the Bucs could take a run at signing Justin Smith should he be let go by the Bengals.
The Bucs have also had brief discussions with the agent for tight end Alge Crumpler who, along with Coleman, was released by the Falcons last Friday.

MrTampa you rock. My sentiments exactly.
MichaelVickFan2008 .... Not sure you understand this Buc team at all. The quarter back is not an issue unless you want to discuss a viable replacement since he is 38. The Bucs have plenty of other needs and the quarter back isn't the highest on the list.

Getting Walker would be great but don't give up on Stovall.Given the chance this kid could be a star.
