Mike Sims Walker is injury prone and has had some problems with his coaches in the past, but at 3.7 million for year just one, this is a fairly low risk deal. The reason I don’t like this deal is that St. Louis already had 6 receivers under contract (Greg Salas, Austin Pettis, Mardy Gilyard, Danny Amendola, Donnie Avery, and Danario Alexander) so now they have 7. That means it’s fairly unlike that they resign Mark Clayton given that most teams don’t carry more than 6 receivers on their roster. I’d rather have Clayton, who caught 23 passes for 306 yards and 2 touchdowns in just over 4 games last year before he got hurt, than MSW. If they were to sign a receiver this offseason, I’d want him to be significantly better than Clayton (Sidney Rice, Braylon Edwards).
