Lane Kiffin Hates Javon Walker
Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin thinks wide receiver Javon Walker is overpaid and overhyped.
“There’s a couple of balls there that we would have liked him to come up with,” Kiffin said during the opening statement of his teleconference Saturday. That’s discouraging because he was paid an awful lot of money, paid like one of the top five receivers in the NFL. We need him to make those plays.”
Everybody, including Kiffin, thought Raiders owner Al Davis made a huge mistake when he signed Walker to a 6-year, $55 million contract back in March and since then the situation has only gotten worse.
In June, Walker was knocked unconscious and robbed and earlier this month Al Davis had to talk Walker out of retiring.
The entire Raiders organization is a complete mess and I’ll be stunned if they win more than 5 games this season and I doubt Walker makes more than 40 catches this year.
