[QUOTE="wpr, post: 65006, member: 198"] I have never liked any of the players "pay me more money or I am going to pout" tantrums. It is a tricky situation. If TT trades him, (even if the Packers would get 2 #1's and of course they won't) Walker will say that he won. that he got the Packers to back down. Other players with huge egos in the future will try to get their way as well. On the other hand if he comes into camp all grumpy and disruptive he too could pull a MM, go out on the field and mess up plays and then feign an injury that will never quite heals all season long. Yes I know he is in a contract year and he SHOULD want to put up the best numbers possible. But remember owners/GM's have been known for years to throw millions of dollars at players who didn't have a very good year due to injury in the hope and believe that the bad times are over for the player and after he comes to play for them he will somehow bounce back to his old superstar form once again. (We only have to look at Jackson for just one of those examples. It happens every year.) Walker doesn't need 5 GM's to feel this way he only needs one. The odds are in his favor. So if they can get multiple draft choices or a #1 trade him. And let hims say he won. If they can only get a #4 or lower due to his injury then let him sit. Don't even let him come into camp unless he publicly admits that he was an @ss. [/QUOTE]
