There's always one individual I move all around my annual Ten Most Important Chicago Bears series before finally settling in on his placement, and this year it was defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker. The Bears clearly value what he can bring to the table as they signed him to a three-year, $21 million contract, with $15.65 million guaranteed, but realistically how much can they expect from a 28-year-old of his fourth team in as many seasons?
Walker is coming off a career-high seven sacks, 16 quarterback hits, 32 tackles, and ten tackles for loss, while playing in all 17 games and a career-best six starts.
