Can't believe no one posted this yet. For an undisclosed draft pick, but at least a 5th rounder I'm sure.

Bills Trade Darwin Walker
Choosing to turn a stalemate situation into a positive, the Bills traded disgruntled defensive tackle Darwin Walker to the Chicago Bears in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice Sunday.
Walker came to the Bills in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles along with a seventh-round draft choice in exchange for quarterback Kelly Holcomb and linebacker Takeo Spikes this past spring.
Since the time of the trade Walker had demanded a renegotiation of his contract that still had two years remaining, feeling that it no longer reflected his proper market value. Buffalo tried to reach an accord through several means, and the lines of communication remained open throughout this past week.

Darwin Walker Traded
This is F###ing great. We just traded Darwin Walker to the Bears for an undisclosed draft pick in 2008. Our interior defense is going to get killed this year. We better make a move at DT or we are screwed. I'm not crazy about the lack of depth at LB either.Comment

Re: Bills trade Walker to Bears!
Hmm, the only way for Buffalo to do the trade is if they get a pick that is better than a 6th rounder. Maybe it's a conditional pick that will upgrade depending on how he does. If not, I'll be happy with a 4th or 5th rounder.

Re: Bills trade Darwin Walker to Bears!
It's a 5th rounder.
The Chicago Bears, for weeks looking for extra help in the middle of their defensive line, traded a fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for disgruntled defensive tackle Darwin Walker.
Walker, who was traded from the Eagles to the Bills in the Takeo Spikes deal, failed to report to the Bills and would have gone back to the Eagles had he not shown up by Aug. 5. Walker wanted a new contract from the Bills, but they weren't willing to satisfy his desire.
The Bears have been looking for defensive line help since losing Tank Johnson, Ian Scott and Alfonso Boone since last season. They had been monitoring the Walker situation for weeks, and he is a definite fit for their defense.

Re: Bills trade Darwin Walker to Bears!
All I know is our run defense was ranked #28 and the Eagles was ranked #26, I think McCargo can at least help us improve by 2 spots and 4.5 yards per game! So in a nut shell......screw Darwin Walker!You can call me streetkingsComment
