It was time to pay the piper in Chicago yesterday and the veterans fell fast and furious. Mushin Muhammed was sent packing in the afternoon and then, in the evening, word broke that Darwin Walker and Fred Miller would be joining him at unemployment office. Neither move was a surprise. Walker was due a $5.2 million bonus, a ridiculous notion after he spent most of the season laid up on the sidelines with knee and elbow injuries. Acquired from Buffalo to solidify the middle of the line, Walker was a bust even when healthy and the Bears shouldn't find it all that hard to replace him next season.
Miller will be even easier to replace. For most of the season the team would have gotten the same production from an immobile block of granite that jumped offsides from time to time. Miller's play at right tackle hurt the running game and the passing game and is a big reason why the Bears will be searching free agency and the combine for new blood on the offensive line. Since Ruben Brown needs to be replaced as well, they'll probably end up with new faces from each place.
