Shannon Sharpe: Broncos Must Get Rid of Javon Walker



Javon Walker didn't endear himself to any of the current Broncos when he said that he wanted to leave the team and find a "better fit" elsewhere. He backtracked a bit but his inital comments weren't well received by former Broncos either. Shannon Sharpe told the Denver Post that the first step back toward the playoffs is losing Walker.
"I think Mike (Shanahan) will relieve himself of that situation. It's not going to get any better there for Walker. Javon isn't the No. 1 anymore there, and it's not going to change. He kind of showed where he is coming from by saying what he said."
Sharpe's right about Walker's attitude but wrong about Denver's best chance for success. The Broncos offense would be better with Walker in the lineup. Brandon Marshall will demand much attention from opposing defenses, leaving ample chances to exploit weaker coverage against the talented Walker.

Two things stand in the way of that happening, though. His huge salary and his bigger ego will make it very difficult for Denver to keep him in town. You could adjust the former but only if Walker adjusts the latter. History says that won't happen and intuition says he'll be playing elsewhere in 2008.

Re: Shannon Sharpe: Broncos Must Get Rid of Javon Walker

Last I heard Dallas was interested, but he's not going to be no. 1 there either, obviously.

Actually, I am kind of wondering if he is qualified to be no. 1 anywhere

This guy apparently inherited the attitude lost by Moss and TO this year. Only he doesn't have the talent to back up his game like those two do. Denver should definitely dump him, and personally, I wouldn't even think about bringing him in.

He probably wants to go to the patriots like every other player.
