Re-Sign Frank Walker?

by BAL_Hawk on Mar 23, 2010 2:02 PM EDT

In a recent quote, Harbaugh would not rule out re-signing Frank Walker, a player most Ravens fans dislike.

Are the Ravens interested in bringing back Walker?

"It’s funny you ask the question and the whole fan base, everybody’s going to be like, ‘Don’t do it.’ But Frank’s a better player than what people think," Harbaugh said at the NFL owners meetings. "I get as frustrated with Frank as anybody does and Frank knows that. He’ll tell you about it and he’ll laugh about it. Frank has got as much talent as any corner in the league. He’s tough, he’s competitive, he’s a physical guy. He loves to play the game. When he gets carried outside of his technique he struggles just like any corner does. When he stays within himself and plays technique, he plays very well."

Harbaugh added, "Frank has got some other options right now, too. People have respect for him. We may not be able to get him signed back. Right now, I’m not so sure that he’s not the best guy out there. You can give me a list of guys and we could think about it, but.. He knows how we play. He knows how we practice. He knows the expectations. We’ve had him for two years. We’ve been through some moments as we all know. And those moments you kind of grow through those things. Hopefully, he understands now what’s expected of him."

I am good friends with Frank's cousin

And he assured me last week that Frank is not going to be a Raven and will most likely be heading down to play for a team in Florida. That’s all the info he would give me, but he might not be back. But hey, deals fall through all the time and he could stay here.

I would like for him to stay though. If he does leave remember where you heard it first.

I heard that he was close to signing with a NFC team.

Maybe the Buccaneers? They are the only NFC team in Florida.

Frank mind as well move to Florida

as that’s what most, older retirement age people do anyway.

As much as Frank Walker upset me this year, I wouldn’t mind re-signing him. He’s not a #2 or 3 CB but that’s where he was playing most of the time last season. As a 4th or 5th CB I don’t mind him at all.

Bye bye

Sorry, Frank you did us wrong more times than you did us right…Enjoy the Florida sun!

Absolutely Not

He played well at certain points but he really got lucky that they didn’t call penalties on him every single time the ball was near him. He’s a coaches worst nightmare when it comes to penalties and he just does not fit into our team moving forward if we want to get away from being penalized so many times. Sorry Frank but goodbye.

I don't really want him back

but I don’t see much choice. Webb and Washington have questions on when they will be back, if one or both can’t start the season, that leaves us with Foxworth, Carr, and nobody else unless we resign Ivey. I’d rather keep Frank around just in case sombody isn’t ready to start, or gets injured again. There’s no guarentee that we’ll draft a corner first, and no guarentee that any corner we draft will be ready to start this season.

Something tells me Frank

will sign with the first team who offers him a contract, as he knows he has a pretty terrible rep amongst Ravens fans and if a team gives him any decent money, he’ll grab it. For us, we know what he can or can’t do, so it’s time to move on.

As long as you promise to put William Gay on Boldin when we play you.

Harbs has to do that

Harbs has to do that. What if they do get him re-signed and Harbs has shown no faith in him? The little bit of confidence he MIGHT have would certainly be terminated. I say re-sign him until we solidify the position then cut him. Unless we grab a FA corner before the draft. If we get a FA let him go but we seriously need depth until our starters are fully healthy. Oz will do the right thing whatever it is for the Ravens.
