Walker wants Raiders fans to know that he is definitely no longer considering leaving the team. "I want people to know why I thought about it, but I also want it to go away, too," Walker said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A week ago, Walker had to be talked out of not leaving the team. He offered to return $11 million of his signing bonus he received when he signed with the Raiders this offseason. Walker said that his plan was to leave the game for a year and then return to the league. "I had had a lot of things going on internally," Walker said. "That's why I offered to write that check. I did not want the team to suffer. ... However, I have cleared my head and the people here have been great to me. I will be fine." We'll suggest that "fine" shouldn't necessarily be confused with productive.
