Overview
- Walker made the claim at his team introduction and directed further questions to his attorney, who was not available for comment.
- Port Authority Police had arrested and charged him in January at LaGuardia’s Terminal C for having a firearm without the required credentials for a check.
- He recently signed a one-year contract worth up to $10 million with Carolina to compete for the starting job at left tackle.
- General manager Dan Morgan said the team turned to Walker after Yosh Nijman, the initial backup plan, retired unexpectedly.
- Walker started 16 games last season for the Packers, and any court dismissal would remove an off-field question as he steps into a key role.
