INDIANAPOLIS — Darren Sharper talks to Javon Walker almost daily.
He said he knows exactly what the Broncos wide receiver is feeling.
“He wants to get out of there,” Sharper said Sunday during the Colts-Chargers AFC divisional playoff game, where the Minnesota Vikings safety was doing television work. “I know all about it, and he wants out. He’s not happy. He wants the ball. He doesn’t feel like he’s part of the offense.”
On Dec. 31, Walker said he didn’t fit in anymore. Last week, on the Lewis and Floorwax radio show, Walker backtracked some. But Sharper said Walker’s true feelings are to leave.
Still, Sharper said it’s his advice for Walker to stay in Denver.
“He has a young quarterback who is good in (Jay) Cutler and has another great receiver in Brandon Marshall,” Sharper said.
Walker has $5.4 million in option bonus money coming his way, and it appears the only way he will remain in Denver is by taking a major pay cut.
