I will find it quite interesting to see where the other 31 teams value him. The Bears had no intentions of playing him as a three-down linebacker. He was probably butt-sore that Roach landed a contract more lucrative than the Bears offered him, but "them's the breaks." |

Smart move by the Bears cap wise, but it could have been handled better. Urlacher should probably just hang em up at this point. Terrific player though. _________________ Green Bay Packers/St Louis Cardinals |

Sentimental value aside, this is the right move.
Urlacher absolutely looked broken down last year and I don't want to have my last memories of Urlacher as a Bear tarnished because he did not want to hang it up before his body breaks down completely.
I wish the man a ton of luck wherever he may go and hope he still has something left in the tank to offer to another club but his time was up in Chicago. I would have loved to have him back as a linebacker quality control coach or something but I guess Brian feels he still has something left to give. _________________ Bears :: White Sox :: Blackhawks :: Bulls

Arrogant disrespect. Interesting. "Sunday wrestlers""? _________________ "I have to keep playing so people over 40 will have somebody to root for on Sunday afternoons." George Blanda who played until he was 46 |
