The Facts:
Having agreed in principle last week on a six-year contract worth around $43 million, the Broncos and Walker did not finalize the deal as expected Monday as the two continued to pore over contract language that has become especially crucial considering Walker's recovery from major knee surgery.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The key to the deal is the bonus payout, which according to the Post's source is between $15 million and $16 million. Multiple websites have reported Monday the bonuses would be paid out as club options -- most in 2007, the rest in 2008. Option bonuses are usually not guaranteed, although they can trigger salary promises. One thing is certain: The Broncos didn't give up a second-round pick with the idea of keeping Walker for a year. Look for a conclusion soon.
