i believe walker was owed a few million in a roster bonus in which the bears had to make a decision when they did. He is extremely overpaid and sucked for us last year even though injuries were involved. I'm happy they dumped him we can spend the money elsewhere.

I really expected more out of Darwin. I thought it was a great trade at the time.

Injuries happen.

Apparently the coaches are also very sold on Toeania which we acquired from the Bengals practice squad(doesn't anyone else find this ironic how they have such a bad defense?) and wanted to keep him. Plus, Adams and Garay played incredibly well with Idonjie being able to play that spot too. As long as the injury bug doesn't hit us like it did last season(everyone going down) then we should be very solid at DT.

I hope Dusty stays healthy. I REALLY like him.
