PLAYERS: Brian Urlacher
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
At this point Brian Urlacher the line-backer that has played in Chicago for 13 years, looks like a man without a team. The veteran who gave the Bears fans so many memories of big hits could be taking a hit of his own right now. The hit Urlacher is going to take could be a huge financial loss. The big man may have to settle for less to find a team that will accept him. After playing in the league for 13 years, we are wondering how long Urlacher thought his NFL career would last. We’ve seen guys play for 17 seasons at the line-backer position, so it is hard to say if Urlacher has 4 more years in him to play. The NFL doesn’t see guys that play line-backer for 13 years all that often. Many times these guys don’t last 6 years. If Urlacher can find another team, he will be a guy that gives his all. Will that team be the Vikings? It isn’t looking like it at the time being. Could the Vikings be playing games to see if they can snag Urlacher below his asking price? If Brian Urlacher was smar...

It was time for end of Urlacher era

I was in line at the Jewel grocery store Wednesday when word started spreading through Chicago: Brian Urlacher is no longer a Bear. Where were you when you heard it, Chicago? "They finally did it?'' the guy behind me asked. "What did they get for him?'' They didn't trade him. They dumped him. "They dumped him,'' he repeated. "Ah...

Urlacher's status still up in the air

Marc Trestman understands that Chicago Bears fans anxiously want to know whether iconic middle linebacker Brian Urlacher will be returning for a 14th NFL season.

Report: Vikings Not interested In Urlacher Unless He Lowers Asking Price

Brian Urlacher is in search of a new team after the Bears chose to part ways and not re-sign him.  Many experts figure the Minnesota Vikings would be a logical landing spot.

Urlacher says the Bears never negotiated with him, gave him an ultimatium

After the Chicago Bears announced tonight that they weren’t going to be re-signing linebacker Brian Urlacher, he made it clear that he was given an ultiminatium.

Bears Tried to Seriously Low Ball Brian Urlacher

Not trying to resign linebacker Brian Urlacher is a move that is going to be widely looked upon as a little crazy; at least by many Bears fans. However, what might really be crazy is what the team is reported to have offered the long time veteran-- One year for $2 million. Yes, he is not a spring chicken. Yes, he has had some injuries over the last few years, but $2 million...

How Brian Urlacher’s Departure Impacts the Chicago Bears

“Lip service.” Those are the exact words Brian Urlacher used to describe the Bears’ efforts to resign him. Granted, the lack of cap space and Urlacher’s recent rash of injuries put Phil Emery in an awkward situation in terms of how to operate in contract negotiations. But this disgraceful divorce from the 13-year face of the franchise will impact the Bears in this coming...

In honor of Brian Urlacher leaving Chicago, here's Tom Brady juking him

Of course, we've all seen this video before. I feel like Brady has one of these surprisingly athletic but not really that athletic moves every year. Last year it might've been either his scramble for a TD against Buffalo or when he kicked Ed Reed in the balls, can't decide which I liked more. Anyway, Brian Urlacher is leaving Chicago after they basically told him they...
