The Chargers are letting go of one of their backups on defense.

Inside linebacker Reggie Walker has been released, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Friday.

Walker was scheduled to make $1 million in 2015, per NFLPA data. According to the Union-Tribune, the release of Walker nets the Chargers a corresponding savings of $1 million against the salary cap.

The 28-year-old Walker appeared in 11 games as a reserve in 2014 for San Diego, with the club crediting him with six tackles on defense and five on special teams.

Walker (6-0, 244) played his first four NFL seasons with Arizona before joining the Chargers in 2013. He could appeal to teams looking for linebacking depth in 3-4 schemes.

Why release him now? Are they bringing back Gachkar?

Well I guess that means we will be adding some LB depth in the draft or FA....my bet is draft.

Do we still have Law on the roster? I still hope he can improve on his overall effectiveness....like him as a situational rusher.

Another brilliant contribution. This one doesn't even make sense but keep it up brah.

I liked Reggie Walker. He wasn't a great player, but a good guy to fill in when we had injuries, and the chargers seem to always have their share of those.

Best of luck to him.

I thought he was a solid backup and ST guy, too Coach. But something happened mid to late last season. He almost never saw the field and was a healthy scratch a couple games. Used to always be one of the first reserves off the bench. Something must have soured the coaching staff on Reggie.

I remember him having some costly penalties.

Pays for part of Jones salary.

I hope so.

With the signing of Jones, Tutu's days may be numbered. Walker is now gone. If they let Gachkar go, that will be 3 of our best ST players gone( Stuckey being the best, Green mad some plays, as did David Johnson)

Time to get some players in the draft to restock the special teams.

And I do like the Jones signing. About time we had a real return man.
