First, from Homer Brown's blog today about Darius
DARIUS VISIT IS INTRIGUING: The Donovin Darius visit is an interesting one. There's no question he's a talented player and he probably has a few good years left in him. From a character standpoint this guy is top notch. A bona fide leader, which could help guys like Angelo Crowell and Chris Kelsay fill the leadership void.
If it goes so far to where they make a contract offer in the coming weeks and he signs there will certainly be a shake-up in the secondary. Not the first week of training camp mind you, but eventually I would think there's a good chance the odd guy out would be Ko Simpson. Darius would start at strong safety and Donte Whitner would start at free safety. Whitner is certainly athletic enough to handle that spot.
Granted I'm getting way ahead of the game here because it is just a visit, but that's how I think things could potentially shake out, if Darius winds up being here.
My take: I absolutey, 100% agree. Even if he didnt overtake Simpson for the starting spot for a year or two, at any capacity he'd be an upgrade somewhere for the team.

Darwin Walker.
With the Bears in the market for a DT after releasing Tank Johnson, the Bills would be wise to maybe seek a sign-and-trade with Darwin Walker; which would consist of him signing (before August 5) and then trading him to Chicago.
I find it hard to imagine this wouldnt at least slightly improve on the 6th rounder they'll get from Philly. And Walker is a cover two TYPE DT, which Chicago also employs.
I bet money if we cant sign him and he returns to Philly to get cut, that Chicago signs him anyway.
