The Facts:
The more we look into this talk of a possible trade between the Bucs and Broncos for Walker, the more we're convinced it probably won't happen. First off, the Broncos have supposedly been offering Walker up to just about anybody who will answer their phone calls and you know the Bucs will answer any call from anyone about anybody. That's how they wound up getting Jake Plummer. Second, it doesn't make much sense for the Bucs or anyone else to work a deal for Walker, because the likelihood is the Broncos will refuse to pay him the $5.4 million option bonus he's due and he'll soon become a free agent anyway.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
And as Tribune beat writer Roy Cummings further argued, there are a lot of receivers expected to come on the market next Friday when the free-agency signing period begins, including Bernard Berrian of the Bears, D.J. Hackett of the Seahawks and Donte' Stallworth of the Patriots. Cummings added that any one of them would be just as good a pickup, if not better, than Walker, who is probably the most talented of the group, but last year's knee injury was his second in three years. The Bucs are looking primarily for speed. Walker fits the bill but maybe not as much as Stallworth, Hackett or Devery Henderson of the Saints.
