The contract is right in line with what he should be paid. In fact, I think the Texans got him a little less then what would have been market value. We were fortunate that his main suitor (ravens) picked up Boldin and dropped out of the bidding. Plus he got less then Burleson despite being more productive as a WR and doing more of the little things (blocking).
As for Marcus Easley doing the same thing, that's about a 1% chance. Notice that a number of teams were immediately interested in Walter with a multi-year, multi-million dollas price tag. Teams don't line up to pay money to guys who can be replaced with younger and cheaper options. That's why there are dozens of vets around the league that will remain unemployed until after the draft. And yet Walter was sought after on day one.
