DeMarcus Walker had 7.0 sacks playing for Shane Bowen in 2022
With attention focused on the upcoming NFL Draft, it is easy to forget that there are still useful free agents on the market. The New York Giants are reportedly hosting one of those for a visit on Wednesday, as eight-year veteran defensive end DeMarcus Walker is scheduled to visit the Giants.
Walker, who will be 31 in September, was a second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2017. He played four years for the Broncos, one each for the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, and the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears. As a member of the Titans in 2022, Walker played for Shane Bowen, Tennessee defensive coordinator at the time. Walker had a career-best 7.0 sacks that season.
Walker started all 17 games for the Bears in 2024, finishing with 3.5 sacks and a career-high 47 tackles.
In 100 career regular-season games, including 42 starts, Walker has 26.5 sacks.
The Giants added veteran defensive tackles Roy Robertson-Harris and Jeremiah Lebetter, and edge defender Chauncey Golston earlier in the offseason.
