P.J. Walker News
Veteran quarterback P.J. Walker is now looking for a new team after being cut by the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 28-year-old was brought in on a two-year contract during the offseason to backup Justin Fields but he struggled in training camp. The Bears opted to keep undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent and veteran Nathan Peterman instead. Walker played the last three seasons with the Carolina Panthers, where he compiled a 4-3 record in seven starts.
Chicago Bears quarterback P.J. Walker got the start in the team's Week 2 preseason loss against the Indianapolis Colts. Walker played two drives going 1-for-4 for just six passing yards, and was sacked twice. This follows a game where Walker went 4-for-8 and threw a bad interception in the team's preseason opener. The former Carolina Panther has been outperformed by all three quarterbacks that the Bears have played during their first two preseason games. Chicago signed Walker as the clear backup to Justin Fields, but he must play better to secure that role ahead of the regular season.
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker reached an agreement on an undisclosed deal on Wednesday night with the Chicago Bears, according to a source. Walker will now become the likely backup to starter Justin Fields in 2023. The Bears also have Trevor Siemian on the roster, so Siemian and Walker could compete for the backup gig in training camp this summer. The 28-year-old Walker saw action in 15 games (seven starts) in the last three seasons with the Panthers, and he had a 57.5% completion percentage with 1,461 yards, five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in that time span. If he's starting games for Chicago next year, it won't be good news for the Bears in the event of a Fields injury.
