Javon Walker: I offered to give the Raiders their money back

That's a bold gesture from Javon, if indeed it did happen. As far as the Raiders turning it down, of course they would — as would any other NFL team. No one wants to admit they made a huge mistake like that, and then draw attention to it by accepting charity from a failed player.

And besides, if everyone theRaiders have ever overpaid offered to give the money back, Al Davis himself would immediately become the world's biggest economy, and our entire financial system would be thrown into chaos.

Walker then goes on to say he'll play for the league minimum in 2010, and that he's going to give some lucky team a very productive year. I admire his optimism.

But at the same time, it seems a little too convenient to blame everything on the Raiders. How often does a wide receiver have three non-productive years in a row, then come back and set the league on fire? That's just not something that happens. I'd love to be wrong, and for Walker to come out in 2010 and have a huge year, but that it's not something I'd bet on.
