You can't rue losing Walden.
Having said that, there is nothing wrong with having "OK" guys like Walden on a team at $725k as opposed to filling every spot with a $8-10m/year guy.

He is an almost identical player to Victor Butler for right at the same cost.
Both guys about 6'2" and 250 pounds. Both guys averaging about 3 sacks per season when granted consistent playing time.
Neither guy is someone you start by choice. But both are solid options when injuries hit.
