Javon Walker: 'Tell everybody I'm coming in'

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Green Bay Packers wide reciever Javon Walker has decided to report to training camp.

Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Silverstein met Walker at the Green Bay airport shortly after 5 this evening and asked whether he planned to continue his holdout. Walker initially said he had no comment, but when pressed, said, "Tell everybody I'm coming in."

Asked if that meant he was going to report to training camp by 7 p.m., the deadline for veterans, he said yes.

This comes from the Journal Sentinel's DayWatch. They don't have a fuller story up yet, but considering that the only thing they charge for on the website is advanced Packer coverage, I'd expect one.

As a side note, they have an interesting 2-parter on Drew Rosenhaus (Part 1/Part 2

Maybe not. While reporting to camp is a very big deal, the holdouts could return if deals aren't made.

Are you represented by Rosenhaus? :-)

Apparently he realized he doesn't have the leverage he thought he did.

Hey, holding out worked (after a fashion) for another of Rosenhaus' clients, Mike McKenzie. He's now eating Cajun food instead of cheese. Of course, he lost a chunk of change by doing so.
