The Chicago Bears acquired veteran defensive tackle Darwin Walker from the Buffalo Bills Sunday in exchange for an undisclosed pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

In 2006 Walker started 15 of 16 regular season games for the Philadelphia Eagles at right defensive tackle and tied for second on the team with six sacks. He also added 56 tackles last season and his first career interception.

For his career Walker has compiled 264 tackles with 27 1/2 sacks and 71 quarterback hurries in 88 career games with Philadelphia and Arizona.

Walker was originally acquired by the Bills in March of this year in a trade that sent linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb to the City of Brotherly Love.
