"BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Newly acquired defensive tackle Darwin Walker (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/70434) won't report to the Buffalo Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67039) until he receives a contract extension.

Acquired in a trade in March that sent linebacker Takeo Spikes (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/69284) to Philadelphia, Walker on Thursday said he hasn't visited Buffalo yet and will not report until a new deal is completed. Walker has two years left on his existing contract, but was attempting to negotiate a new deal with the Eagles (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67058).

Walker's agent, Albert Irby, said the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67039) were aware of his client's contract status when they made the trade."

Jeez, most teams would have worked out the contract stuff prior to the trade. They cleansed their organization of most players wanting more money.

For a minute there I thought Javon Walker was unhappy with his contract again. I was gonna say, "now wait a minute".
