The Facts:
Walker, who originally received $102,000 to sign as a sixth-round draft pick in 2006, received a three-year extension worth $6 million this offseason. The deal included a $1.8 million signing bonus. He is now signed through the 2012 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The new deal might be an indication the 49ers expect Walker to flourish with Mike Martz as OC. Indeed, Martz told reporters just last week that Walker "has some real wow factor." It should be noted the team's previous coordinators have felt much the same about Walker with little in the way of results. We suspect the presence of Vernon Davis might ensure more of the same. Walker has just 23 career receptions in 23 NFL games. Last season, he caught 21 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown. Twelve of those receptions and 116 of those yards came in the final four games of the season.
