Walker was released by the Bears earlier this offseason after totaling seven sacks in 17 games for the 2024 season. The 30-year-old was initially drafted by the Broncos in 2017 and has 26.5 sacks over eight seasons. The Giants will bring in Walker for a visit on Wednesday. If he does sign, Walker will join a defensive line rotation with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the edge.

The Bears already have plenty of cap space. This move plus Gerald Everett’s release will put them above $70 million in cap space as free agency approaches. Walker signed a three-year, $21 million contract in Chicago two offseasons ago. He totaled seven sacks with the Bears and started all 17 games last year. Walker will have some takers in free agency, though he will likely be resigned to a one or two-year deal this time around.

Walker broke out for seven sacks in 2022 and will now earn $21 million over three years with the Bears. General Manager Ryan Poles has not been shy with splashy offseason moves, tackling the skill positions through trade and the trenches through free agency. It is likely Walker slots in along the right interior of the defensive line in a 4-3 scheme.

Walker joined the Texans in 2021 and earned a career-high in snaps, taking the field for more than half of his team's defensive plays. He tallied two sacks, four TFLs, and seven QB hits. With Tennessee having a deeper defensive line than the Texans, Walker's role could take a slight downturn in 2022. Still, the 27-year-old lineman gives the Titans a solid rotational option.
