Urlacher and Bears part ways

[The King]

Urlacher calls the negotiations an ultimatum.

1yr 2mill.

[Scumbag College]

Bring him in!

[Pinkerton Security]

Well, he might be able to teach our younger LB's the ropes with a 3-4 D...other than that hes QUITE a bit past his prime. If we could get him on the cheap I think it'd be a decent pickup, but I think hes gonna ask for more than we should give.

[ServoBillieves]

2 years $5 mil.

Do it Bu... hahahahaha oh man I almost finished that statement.

[Dannyboy]

He is not woth the money or roster development at LB. ESPN2 is his best chance.

My buddy's a Bears fan and he got an Urlacher jersey back in 2003 or 2004.

It must be nice to buy a player's jersey and have him be on the team for 9 years.

The only way to do that in Buffalo is with a kicker or Chris Kelsay.

Or our long snapper, whatever his name is that makes a career out of pushing a ball through between his legs.

Wait, that sounds bad.

Signing Urlacher is exactly the "he can sell jerseys/tickets" move Russ would like to make. I was wondering who his Terrell Owens move was going to be, but there weren't the big names in FA this year to do it. I don't think a Greg Jennings had quite the name recognition needed.

and a kicker is the best player on the team and we still dump him!!!!

[Mr. Pink]

Urlacher likely won't come to a team who's a bottom feeder when he's on his last leg basically.

Has he ever played in a 3-4? He's always been the MLB in a Cover 2 system. He got his start under Jauron, FFS.

Does he have a pulse?

[Scumbag College]

Does he have a pulse?

If so, he can start in Buffalo.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

This will be the signing. Nix and Marrone will both say that he is a versatile LB who can play in the 4-3/3-4 hybrid d that we have. Morons will buy jerseys, the braindead trust at OBD can say we tried and people will buy tickets.

[Tatonka]

there is a lot of hate about the notion of signing him, but i remember the same when we let london fletcher go and he is still playing at a high level. the guy played hurt all year last year and still played ok. if he is healthy, he is worth it in my opinion, especially since we missed out on other guys and dont have a lot of options.. i dont care about his age.. i care about his age.. i care about his health. if he is healthy, bring him in. he'd make less than leodis mckelvin for **** sake.

[DynaPaul]

Urlacher is old and slow. The guy is done. He might be good on a cheap contract for some leadership but don't expect the guy from 5 years ago to show up.

[Dannyboy]

He isn't healthy. He has a weakened shoulder and arm and an arthritic hip. It is time to hang up the spikes.

[YardRat]

I'd rather have Bostic, Johnson or Te'o from the draft.
