The Chicago Bears filled the hole that was left by Tank Johnson and his arsenal of weapons. They acquired DT Darwin Walker for a conditional 5th round pick. Walker has played his seven previous seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Over that time he’s racked up 27.5 sacks. That kind of production will definitely help the Bears interior line.
He has a lot of years behind him so he isn’t a long term solution at DT, but he does bring the Bears some veteran leadership with a pedigree that Lovie’s defense will really be able to use. Defensive tackle is the most important position in the Tampa Two defense (remember Warren Sapp). Darwin Walker and Tommie Harris will work well in this system.
One peculiarity of this deal is that it runs through 2011 which would have Walker as a Bear when he is 34. Of course defensive tackles can be productive when they get older, but I think that’s more the exception than the rule.
