Javon Walker dropped the first bomb of the Broncos' offseason this morning.
In a rambling briefing with the press, Walker essentially said he longer wants to be with the Broncos.
"It's not for Javon," Walker said. "It's not for me."
Walker bounced and back and forth and said that he'll do whatever the Broncos decide but he concluded by saying that being here is not for him.
Walker even suggested a return to Green Bay. The Broncos acquired him from the Packers in April 2006 for a second round draft choice.
Walker was unhappy with the Packers when he was dealt.
Walker missed seven games this season with a knee injury and second-year player Brandon Marshall flourished, catching 102 balls.
Walker said that the offense is centered around Marshall now and he is happy for his teammate.
Walker has $5.4 million in option bonus money coming to him this year and the team was planning on keeping him. However, after his bombshell, the team will likely seriously consider parting ways.
