DeMarcus Walker has emerged as a tone-setter. But do the Chicago Bears still need pass-rushing help?
Matt Eberflus referenced a 40-day window between the end of the Chicago Bears’ minicamp Thursday and the opening of training camp in late July as a period for, such as wide receivers Chase Claypool and Darnell Mooney, to get up to speed.
Yannick Ngakoue, the well-traveled defensive end who spent last season with the Indianapolis Colts, looms as the best remaining option after Leonard Floyd and Frank Clark were signed last week. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Ngakoue has changed agents, switching from Adisa Bakari to Drew Rosenhaus, with a goal of having a contract before training camp.Whether a deal comes together remains to be seen. Ngakoue recently said on SiriusXM NFL Radio that he hopes to join a contender.
What the Bears do have on the edge is a willing leader in DeMarcus Walker, someone who seems comfortable being in that position as a newcomer. The Bears signed Walker to a three-year, $21 million contract with $15.65 million guaranteed early in free agency. It’s his fourth team in four seasons, and he arrives after posting a career-high seven sacks as a rotational lineman for the Tennessee Titans a year ago. Most of Walker’s pass-rushing production came when he was lined up inside in pressure fronts for coach Mike Vrabel.
