Not to mention, the Saints just shelled out another 5 million to Kendrick Clancy. So your point is that we should have 4 DT's on the roster making big money. And all that for a guy who has refused to show up this offseason for 2 different teams. If thats your opinion, thats fine, i am not bashing you...it just doesnt seem to add up to me.

First of all, Thomas and Clancy are run stuffers, Walker is (for the last time) a pass rushing DT. Now, please take a minute and look at the roster(I'll wait), how many pass rushing DTs do you see? One(Young), possibly two(Legree) that's it. If you look at Brian Young in the fourth quarter of games last year, he seems to be exhausted, tired, and not as effective as he is in the first three quarters, and that's when we had Whitehead as his backup, how ineffective do you think he's going to be if Legree don't pan put. The reports on why he didn't want to show up at the Bills camp is not entirely about money, it also involved a multi year deal. If it was all about the money he wouldn't have turned down the one year $1.5 mil and become a FA next year, your not that familiar with Walker but I am, this kids a BEAST in the middle, basically destroying the pocket. It might not make any sense to you and that's your opinion, but it makes all the sense in the world to me, with Walker and Young rotating from that position, your looking at a possible 12 to 15 sacks and endless pressure from the DT position, and that my friend is how you win SUPERBOWLS.
