Bears sign Darwin Walker

[Zeeck]

Looking to fill the void left by Tank and Ian Scott:

I like this signing. From what I've heard, it's Dvoracek's position to lose, but nothing wrong with having a veteran to either compete for the spot or be a proven commodity as a backup.

If he shows up....he never reported to the Bills when he was traded for Spikes. That is why the Bills dumped him. But yes, if he reports and plays it's a great move. He's much less of a run stopping force compared to Williams. but he's a better pocket pusher.

I always liked Walker, great guy to have around.

We needed a linebacker, but hated seeing Darwin go.

Respectfully disagree

Sucked against the run and was awful soft for a guy who was supposed to be the strongest on the team. Supposedly very celf center and only worried about his stats

Was hoping he would skip out on the bills and comeback to the eagles
