Brian Urlacher, Bears part ways

tto827 · 03-20-13, 05:57 PM

Wonder how much he is asking for. He isn't worth as much to any other team as he is to the Bears, should be interesting to see how it plays out.

JakeLc · 03-20-13, 06:00 PM

Bears made the right move. Supposedly he was asking for 2 years at 10-11 million which is ridiculous

no money figures that I see yet

Urlacher's game was once built on speed, but he clearly was not the same physically in 2012. It's possible a team like the Dallas Cowboys could bring Urlacher in for one last year or two, but it's worth wondering if this is the end of the line.

He'll look great in a Colts uniform

it amazing all this money being talked about and paid to players in a league that only plays 16 games a season.

It's amazing?

It's called a business.

As a bears fan im very happy to see him go. He played his best game years ago.

d2bets · 03-20-13, 06:43 PM

Unless he reduces his contract demands big time he will have to retire.

JakeLc · 03-20-13, 06:44 PM

he can't run

d2bets · 03-20-13, 06:44 PM

Bears have some huge voids at LB. Basically Briggs is all they got, and he's not getting any younger either. I think Ogletree is Bears 1st round pick.

Thank Jerry Angelo

I hope Mr Kraft takes a shot on him.

Dabeergod · 03-20-13, 06:55 PM

He will end up In Baltimore replacing Ray Ray for the next couple of years

Only teams that have a use for him are the ones that have a strong defense already that could gain from his knowledge, but can cover for his lack of speed at this point.

kfranz31 · 03-20-13, 07:48 PM

wow there is definetely loyalty with the bears what a class act organization......NOT

d2bets · 03-20-13, 08:05 PM

It was not a negotiation it was an ultimatum. Gonna miss my teammates. http://snip.ps/ultimatum

d2bets · 03-20-13, 08:07 PM

Bears offered $2 million; Urlacher wanted $3 million.

JakeLc · 03-20-13, 08:20 PM

I'm glad he's gone

konck · 03-20-13, 08:28 PM

Bears dont need a team leader any more they have CUNTler

Frisco · 03-21-13, 12:41 AM

I hear the Vikings are in the business of overpaying washed up NFC North players.

eidolon · 03-21-13, 12:48 AM

they wouldn't give him 3million? how bad is he now?

Brian Urlacher is 34
Lance Briggs is 32
London Fletcher is 37
Ray Lewis is 37

Brian Urlacher is white. He's getting old and slow.
Briggs is 32 and nobody talks about his age and loss of athleticism.
London Fletcher is 37 and "he just keeps chugging along". Nobody talks about his lack of athleticism. Urlacher > Fletcher.
A few years back people said Ray Lewis was done but he improved 2-3 years ago late in his career.

I'd much rather sign Urlacher to a 2 year deal than draft Manti Teo in round 1 and have him sit on the bench 2 years before flaming out of the league.

bleek88 · 03-21-13, 05:44 PM

I agree with the OP sadly, Urlacher was finished 3 years ago.

T'eo isn't getting drafted in the 1st round. Bears will either take Ogletree or Brown.

We'll have to start a "death pool" for these guys in terms of careers ending.

Yep. Turn the page.

He should retire.

He may have one or two decent years left at 34. Depends on who he signs with also

JakeLc · 05-22-13, 10:08 AM

he announced his retirement
