Source: Frank Walker drawing more interest

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Baltimore Ravens veteran free agent cornerback Frank Walker is on the verge of scheduling some visits with NFL teams, according to a league source.

Walker has been talking with the Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams, Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

His representatives have remained in touch with the Ravens.

The Ravens haven't ruled out re-signing Walker, an aggressive, physical cornerback whose primary drawback is being prone to a lot of penalties.

The Ravens could use a few cornerback, a veteran and a rookie, in coach John Harbaugh's estimation, because Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington aren't a sure thing to be ready for the start of the regular season as they rehabilitate from torn anterior cruciate ligaments. 

"It’s funny you ask the question and the whole fan base, everybody’s going to be like, ‘Don’t do it," Harbaugh said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. "But Frank’s a better player than what people think. I get as frustrated with Frank as anybody does and Frank knows that. He’ll tell you about it and he’ll laugh about it.

"Frank has got as much talent as any corner in the league. He’s tough, he’s competitive, he’s a physical guy. He loves to play the game. When he gets carried outside of his technique he struggles just like any corner does. When he stays within himself and plays technique, he plays very well."

Walker hasn't been offered a contract by the Ravens or any other teams, but interest in him seems to be growing as the free agent market has slowed down.

"Frank has got some other options right now, too," Harbaugh said. "People have respect for him. We may not be able to get him signed back. Right now, I’m not so sure that he’s not the best guy out there. You can give me a list of guys and we could think about it, but..

"He knows how we play. He knows how we practice. He knows the expectations. We’ve had him for two years. We’ve been through some moments as we all know. And those moments you kind of grow through those things. Hopefully, he understands now what’s expected of him.”
