Former Panthers, Eagles, and Bears DT Darwin Walker is considering a return to the NFL.

"I haven't ruled out the possibility of playing still," said Walker, 33. "I've had a couple of offers. I turned them all down." Walker was out of football all last season. He had a visit with the Lions in August of 2009, but otherwise isn't known to have generated serious interest in free agency.

He was good in rotation back in '08 for us. Could be worth a look at. Would certainly be better than Hayden.

It's a shame that a 36 year old veteran in Hollis Thomas is a better option than a 24 year waste of a roster spot in Nick Hayden.

As far as Darwin Walker goes, I really don't see how he was good in 08'. He recorded 10 tackles in ten games and that is not good. Hayden is bad but Walker is not better than Hayden. Hollis Thomas is the only guy that is over 30 that the Panthers should consider bringing in.

!0 tackles in 10 games sucks if you were in alot particularly on running plays. But he wasn't used that much and had difficulty with back problems following the car accident so he really played okay in very limited time.

But don't worry we won't bring him in nor will we bring in Thomas either,

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
