On the Edge: Clay Matthews vs. Erik Walden
A week ago I cast out my lure, but only got a single bite. So today I’ll repeat myself and provide more detail: what about returning Erik Walden to the Green Bay Packers? I’ll even sweeten the deal: he can be the replacement for Clay Matthews.
Erik Walden – Strong and Steady
Walden has progressed from a borderline NFL player to a solid linebacker and edge rusher. He was a sixth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2008, bounced around with Kansas City and Miami, and was signed by Green Bay as a free agent in midseason in 2010. Walden is a sturdy and mobile 6’2” and 250 pounds. He’s got a Super Bowl ring with Green Bay’s name on it.
