The Facts: Less than a week after former Packers QB Brett Favre decided to return for another season in Minnesota, the Vikings are planning on signing former Packers wide receiver Walker on Monday, a source close to the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:Walker experienced his greatest success with Favre as his QB and Minnesota is hoping for more of the same. Walker, whose only Pro Bowl season came in 2004 with the Packers when Favre was his quarterback, hasn't had a 1,000-yard receiving season since 2006 when he was with the Denver Broncos. Walker, however, clashed with Favre before he left the Packers as a free agent after the 2005 season. Favre torched Walker for skipping the Green Bay Packers' 2005 minicamp. Walker was seeking a new contract at the time. Oakland released Walker this offseason after two unproductive seasons with the team.
