[QUOTE="Sef0r, post: 51938, member: 364"] Like I said before above, it doesn't look like Javon Walker of 2006 is about the team, he knows he's the No1 and wants to be paid like it. If I remember correctly, Mike Sherman signed Ferguson to an extension cause he had like 2 years left and wanted to keep him. Javon still had 4(or 3) years left and had the breakout season after the fact and there is almost no doubt that if it was Sherman he would have gotten an extension. It wasn't Sherman, it was Thompson...even if Favre had not said anything I doubt it would have made ANY difference. I mean look at this years FA period, I don't see Favre making comments in the media which would force Thompson into actually signing someone other then Manuel or his attempt to get Pickett. Do I feel sorry for Javon Walker, of course I do...especially if he decides to hold out the whole year. He forfiets a year of eligibility to become a UFA, he does NOT get paid. He won't get sponsorship deals as a source of income because his image at that point would be gone (not unlike T.O) and if Thompson is going to stick to his guns like I think he is. Javon will hold out, he will be let go at the end of next year and someone will take a chance on him with a 3 year contract worth $2 mil (that may be the only type of offer he gets). Does anyone really think that Tompson is going to give in? Seriously, without wishful thinking and that packer mindset, does a man who's shown nothing but restraint in FA and player extensions give in to a WR who is on the verge of ruining his own career? I'm not looking at this as a Packer fan but someone with a realistic outlook on this situation. [/QUOTE]
