RAIDERSReceiver Walker, end Ellis releasedTuesday, March 9, 2010 The Raiders, in their latest dumping of veteran players, released wide receiver Javon Walker and defensive end Greg Ellis on Monday. The moves followed Saturday's decision to unload running back Justin Fargas. Walker was a disappointment from the start after signing a $55 million contract two years ago. He caught 15 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown in two injury-plagued seasons in Oakland, while being paid $14 million. The Raiders were hoping they added a No. 1 receiver in Walker, but he never recovered from a 2007 knee injury. Ellis signed a two-year contract in June 2009 and provided a strong veteran presence on the line. He tied for the team lead with seven sacks last season.
