Bearstalk

I was around a couple people today and they said they saw on ESPN that the Bears are considering trading Urlacher? Thoughts on this? Or is this false info?

I had a few observations on Urlacher tonight that I want and second opinion on. One – he looked tentative Two – he was broadcasting his intentions to the blocker right before contact. Three – was leading to contact with a turned shoulder without squaring up Four – he looked like his neck was stiff or out of whack. Five – was not shedding blocks well. If anyone recorded the game and could analyze the first two defensive series, I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully, my eyes were playing tricks on me or I couldn’t see well on the tiny TV I have in my bedroom. Not trying to start a rumor or panic, just want clarification.

Anybody here willing to eat crow for calling Urlacher washed up, over paid, overrated the last couple years?

Urlacher is doing a great job of getting to the ball carrier but he needs to start wrapping up instead of just bouncing off of the opponent.

Seems odd that this site hasn’t acknowledged Urlacher being a finalist in HOF voting. Maybe he’d like to be HC?

URL just announced on who say that he's decided to retire. God bless all the memories

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AoBr...o&type=lgns Long article about his sentiments while watching the Vikings game. This is at the end:

Brian Urlacher will attend the Bears' mandatory three-day minicamp starting Friday, the linebacker told the Tribune Thursday evening. Urlacher, who has missed all of the team's voluntary off-season activities up to this point, had been lobbying for more money than the Bears offered in a one-year contract extension. The deal was believed to include $5 million up front, and $1 million added to his base salary per season granted he participated in 85 percent of the snaps. The extension through 2012 also was believed to include a base salary of $7.5 million in the last season. The Bears likely would reworked that if Urlacher is still active Urlacher signed a nine-ye…

from Profootballtalk.com http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ URLACHER WAS GOING TO CHANGE POSITIONS Posted by Mike Florio on March 26, 2008, 11:17 a.m. We’ve continued over the past couple of days to try to find out what precisely went down between the San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears regarding the whole Lance Briggs thing, which culminated this week in a finding that the Niners must forfeit a fifth-round pick and flip-flop third-round selections with the Bears. It generally has been difficult to track down information, and much of what we’ve obtained has been on “background” (a term that we still don’t fully understand because …

The Bears and Brian Urlacher are discussing a restructuring of his contract. Urlacher signed a nine-year deal in 2003, but will make just $3.95 million this season, as salary inflation has far exceeded the increments in his agreement. The timing is bad for Urlacher, though, as he suffered with a sore back for much of last season, and still won't be able to run for two more weeks after undergoing neck surgery. Source: Chicago Tribune Michael Turner is visiting the Falcons Friday. Atlanta, looking for a power rusher, is the most logical landing spot for Turner. We wouldn't be surprised if he signs Friday. The Lions, Bears and Saints are also said to be actively …

Per the Tribune, he dislocated his wrist and will have surgery Monday. He's expected to miss 3-4 weeks. http://csnchicago.com/pages/landing?Report...&feedID=661

In his first year of eligibility Brian Urlacher has been confirmed as a nominee. He should get in regardless of Ray Lewis also being nominated.They are both HOF players!

Multiple reports are saying Urlacher is in the HOF

Both players aren't happy where they are. The Bears need help at WR. The Bengals need a playmaker at LB. We all know this trade would never, ever happen. But if it was offered, who would turn it down and why?

Take it for what it's worth, but Glazer's pretty plugged in: 19 mins DaBearsBlog ‏@dabearsblog Jay Glazer just reported on Mike Francesa's show that he believes Brian Urlacher will leave Chicago this offseason.

Just kidding. But really, if you need proof that stats can be very misleading, check this out. Look at Urlacher's stats. He had his best year statistically. http://www.nfl.com/players/brianurlacher/p...le?id=URL059326 In 8 seasons he's only had more tackles twice. Since his rookie season he's never had more than 6 sacks so 5 sacks this season is pretty good. Url had 5 picks, which is almost twice as many as he's ever had in a season before and blew away his old stats in terms of passes defended with 12, literally twice as many as he'd ever put up before. He also took a pick back to the house for the first time. If I was playing Madden, I'm sure I'…

https://www.chicagobears.com/news/urlacher-shows-humility-gratitude-in-speech Class act all the way. As a fan I'm proud to say he's a Hall of Fame Chicago Bear. I'm glad he introduced my kids to great Bears defense and that great MLB tradition we have.
