All you really need is 1-2 years. Keep in mind that next season, the free agent market is going to be a whole lot better. And you have 2-3 years of drafts to try to find Chambers' successor. I'd rather go after a cream of the crop receiver in the 2011 offseason than to just settle for a long-term option in 2010 because he was the best we could get.
Walter, like Chambers, is a stopgap at best. The only main advantage is that he buys you maybe an extra year or 2 to find his eventual replacement.

You keep forgetting about the most important advantage:
You know what you're going to get out of Walter because he's produced consistently over the past several years.
Chambers hasn't.
You guys can keep saying you think he'll equal last years production, but there's not a shred of evidence to back it up.
