Even if the Green Bay Packers offered a lucrative new contract and quarterback Brett Favre retired, wide receiver Javon Walker still wouldn't resume his career in the National Football League's smallest city.
His agent, Kennard McGuire of Chicago, reiterated Friday what his client essentially told ESPN.com Thursday. Walker has played his final game for Green Bay.
"He has made it perfectly clear that he does not want a new contract from them," McGuire said. "The mind-set is there really is no future there. This young man only wants peace of mind. He does not feel that he would have peace of mind playing there."
Walker, one of the team's top three or four players at the start of last season, has asked for a trade through his agent and in his own telephone conversation with coach Mike McCarthy.
McGuire delivered Walker's request to general manager Ted Thompson two weeks ago at the combine.
Last week, McGuire asked Thompson for permission to seek a trade. Thompson denied it.
A spokesman in Thompson's office said he was declining all interviews regarding McGuire. Late in the afternoon, the club issued a statement from Thompson that read, in part:
"During his time as a Green Bay Packer, Javon Walker has been well thought of by everyone here. I like Javon, certainly as a person and as a player. That said, Javon is under contract ... and we expect him to honor it. ... I don't anticipate us making any concessions in this matter."
Packers president Bob Harlan said he was disappointed by Walker's remarks but declined additional comment other than to say, "Let's see where it goes."
According to McGuire, Thompson still has hopes that the Packers will get Walker on the field for the final year of the five-year, $6.7 million contract that he signed in 2002 after being the 20th pick in the draft.
"He said he wanted to exhaust all means in working this situation out, which I applaud him for," McGuire said. "But everything that I'm hearing from the family, the answer is no."
But Walker, who tried to renegotiate his contract last offseason only to report in time for the first practice, is so angry with team management that he appears to have reached the point of no return.
"If I had to go back there, I'd retire," Walker told ESPN.com. "I don't have to play. I really have no interest in being in a Green Bay Packers uniform or playing for Green Bay again."
