Walker was waived by the Buccaneers on Saturday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker flash a bit in practice, but had only one reception for 15 yards this preseason. The 26-year-old was a standout in the CFL the past two seasons with 2,699 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, and is likely a candidate for the practice squad.

Walker was effective while working with the second team in the two-minute drill Monday, Joe Kania of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The CFL transplant hadn't really flashed during the first several practices, but he made his presence felt Monday. Walker caught back-to-back passes during the two-minute drill, helping the second team get into field-goal range. He also shined in one-on-one drills, making an impressive catch over cornerback Johnathan Moxey. The 26-year-old Walker offers no shortage of big-play upside, having racked up 198 receptions for 2,699 yards and 16 touchdowns for the Edmonton Eskimos over 30 games across the 2015-16 seasons.

Walker, an offseason acquisition from the CFL, has received high praise from fellow receiver Mike Evans for his work since arriving in Tampa, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "He can go up and get the ball. He's sneaky athletic. He's sneaky fast. His 40 time doesn't show how fast he is. He plays fast, strong hands and he's one of the hardest workers I've ever been around."

EDGE Analysis

Walker and Evans were college teammates at Texas A & M, with the former going undrafted in 2014 and failing to stick with the Titans after spending training camp and the preseason with the club as an undrafted free agent. The 25-year-old eventually headed north of the border, where he proceeded to rack up 198 receptions for 2,699 yards and 16 touchdowns over 30 games across the 2015-16 seasons. Walker certainly has a chance to stick on a Bucs receiving corps that badly needs an infusion of speed, and the early endorsement from the team's No. 1 wideout -- as well as his impressive work in OTAs thus far -- both help his cause.

The Buccaneers signed Walker to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Joe Kania of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker is no stranger to the NFL, as he was inked by the Titans in 2014 as an undrafted free agent but eventually cut loose by the end of the preseason. Thereafter, he's enjoyed a pair of fruitful campaigns in the CFL, recording at least 1,000 yards on both occasions. As part of the No. 2 passing offense with Edmonton in 2016, he finished second in both receiving yards (1,589) and catches (109) in the entire league to teammate Adarius Bowman. Additionally, Walker snagged a team-best 10 touchdowns. Now part of a receiving corps rife with question marks outside of Mike Evans and Adam Humphries, Walker has a legitimate shot to land an NFL gig with an impressive showing in the Bucs' offseason program.
