The Facts: Last offseason, Oakland spent millions to sign CB DeAngelo Hall, S Gibril Wilson and Walker. Already, Hall and Wilson have been jettisoned -- Hall cut during the season, and Wilson cut after it. Now, Walker could be next.
Diehards Line:Walker is due a $5 million bonus payment March 3. And even though at least one local report recently suggested that Walker could remain a Raider, NFL Network insider Adam Schefter reports the Raiders would rather release him than pay it. Schefter added if and when the Raiders release Walker, he will count against their salary cap for an eye-popping $14.16 million. It is a huge number to absorb, but the Raiders believe it is the right move to make.
