ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Awakened by a 7 a.m. Monday morning call from his agent, Tracy Walker learned that several NFL teams were showing interest as he prepared to test the free agent market for the first time.
Walker, however, already had his mind made up before receiving any further details. "We're going back to Detroit," Walker told him.
Walker agreed to a three-year, $25 million contract extension with the Detroit Lions that includes $17 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN on Tuesday.
Following a 3-13-1 record last year, Walker made it clear that he has "unfinished business" in the Motor City and wants to be part of the group to help change the culture.
