[QUOTE="Arles, post: 149407, member: 786"] Actually, TT had just became GM and Walker wanted him to tear up his final two seasons and give him a new contract. TT said no, it wasn't his normal practice and Walker talked about holding out. Then, Favre came in and said that players with several years left on their contract should honor their deal, and if they want a raise, they should go about it behind the scenes and not hold out. Then, Walker got hurt and blamed Brett, TT, city of Green Bay and I think even the inventor of cheese and asked to be traded. Here's a direct quote from Charles Goldsmith, Jevon's stepfather in March of last year: Once Walker got hurt, there was no way GB could keep him. He was going to blame the Packers for his injury. Had he stayed healthy and had a good season, I'm guessing GB would have extended him in the offseason and he would still be here. Just like they did with Harris, Barnett, Kampman and many others. He just wanted a new deal midway through his rookie contract and that is a somewhat unprecedented request. [/QUOTE]
