Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker faces charges of second-degree weapon possession and criminal firearm possession in New York after attempting to fly with a registered pistol and 36 rounds of ammunition. His attorney claims Walker, who is from the Northeast, mistakenly believed he could travel with the firearm in a locked case. Walker’s court date is set for March 19, potentially impacting his free agency prospects as teams may hesitate to commit substantial funds amid his legal issues. The Packers’ ability to gain compensatory draft picks could also be affected by Walker’s situation, as it influences their free agency strategy.
