BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Newly acquired defensive tackle Darwin Walker won't be reporting to the Buffalo Bills until he receives a contract extension.
Acquired in a trade in March that sent linebacker Takeo Spikes to Philadelphia, Walker on Thursday said he hasn't visited Buffalo yet and won't be reporting 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.
Walker's agent, Albert Irby, said the Bills were aware of his client's contract status when they made the trade.
"Yes, he's under contract, and that contract was traded to Buffalo. But it was traded to Buffalo with the understanding that we wanted a new deal," Irby told The Associated Press. "They made the trade knowing that this had to happen."
Irby said he's had discussions with the Bills, and hopes an agreement can be reached prior to the start of training camp in late July.
