The Facts:
Following up on
a previous item. ... On Wednesday, the Raiders began to put out the word that the numbers on Walker (see
here) weren’t accurate. A number of media outlets were told (by Raiders officials) that Walker received a $6 million signing bonus, a $5 million base salary in 2008, and a $5 million base salary in 2009. As it turns out, and as we’ve confirmed by talking with multiple sources, the Raiders were spreading incorrect information.

Imagine that. ... According to PFT's Florio (and confirmed in further reporting by Oakland Tribune staffer Jerry McDonald), the truth is that Walker received an $11 million signing bonus, and he’ll get a $5 million roster bonus due in 2009, and the roster bonus is fully guaranteed against injury. So, Florio summed up: "The guarantee is $16 million, presuming that the Raiders won’t decide to cut Walker because: (1) he’s healthy; but (2) he’s not good."
