He was my favorite Bear during his prime, that is long gone. I just heard on the radio the statement where he said (I wont play for the Bears for 2 mil) comes from the logic that the Bears paid him 17 mil the last two years when he admittedly was not very good, so he deserves to be paid more now. He is full of himself and if you wish to worship him , buy a poster and take it in the bathroom and shut the door. We just have opinions , whether the Bears succeed or fail , doesnt have anything to do with what we think. You want to worship an old FORMER all pro by giving him what ever he wants to play for when it is detrimental to the team to play players for past performance. I want the team to be better, so lets start replaces the ones that dont play well anymore. I think its time to find another leader of our defense and try to be better for the next 5 years going forward. The longer we wait to replace players , the longer it takes to get to where we need to go. I dont think the defense will be any good this year whether Urlacher was here or not, but we might as well set ourselfs up to be better sooner by getting started now. The coaches and the league seem to be more inline with my thinking than yours, so if Im a moron, what label show we put on you?

Bailey isnt a top speed guy but very quick and good route runner. It accomplishes the same thing.

Its not about bowing down to the king, its about having a better football team. Hanging on to broken down players, doesnt make your team better. Almost all experts think he doesnt have it left anymore, it doesnt matter what you and I think, its about people that matter think.

Well said

It is a black eye publicly but the fact is he aint the 54 were use to and its time to find the next stud to become fond of.

He is a ego tripper, he held them hostage several years ago when he wanted more money added to his contract. He was a great player,and was good to his team mates but he is quite the inflated ego when it comes to him personally

Oh well, there are plenty out there, lets just get another one.

THAT WAS THE KNOCK I HEARD ABOUT HIM

He is crying like a baby that they didnt negotiate with him, he was disrespected. He is a whiny little bitch. If he really wanted to play for the Bears he would have took the 2mil and kept his mouth shut, but he thinks he is worth at least 3 mil. It is time to let go of the old and have a fresh start. The time is about moving forward and trying to get youth to this team and win a SB, not hanging posters of our past heros in the locker room. My German Sheppard is 11 years old now, and when she dies, I will feel bad for a moment and get a new dog to get attached to. THATS LIFE

I think they made an offer to appease the fans, but it sure doesnt seem they were that interested in bringing him back to me.

Signed a LT------check Signed a TE------check Moved on from Urlacher----check Resigned Collins-----------a roster rotation guy Signed Mcbride-------------someone to take Idonije spot at DT/DE rotation player Another TE- have made a offer to Mareni ----blocking TE Another CB- have made a offer to Captain M ---I think he will be our NB We still have maybe a WR to add, and a OG I would suspect, a LB or two, plus resign Louis.

I dont think the new regime wanted him back so they made a offer and wasnt trying to negotiate, he just wanted more money and we wasnt given it to him.

They just signed Moore, I see us getting him and he would be a decent addition to the team.

As time moves forward players are going to start getting nervous about having a job and I think we can make some cheap good additions to our football team.

He was my favorite Bear during his heyday, but is time is past and he needs to retire so we can celebrate his career.

IMO I have mentioned that I thought Bushrod would be a good addition to our team, and I thought it was time for Urlacher to go. Both of those things the Bears agreed with. Now the next thing I think will happen is they will ask Hester to take a pay cut or they will cut him. We will see the Bears agree with that too.

Boldin was trade for a 6th round pick, there is no way anybody is giving anything better than that for a lost a step ST guy

I heard on the radio they offered him a one year 2.5 mil deal and he refused it, so the Bears moved on. Wheres Jason so can here about all that disrespect everybody is giving him.

I think someone will give him more money than the min. vet salary of which I think we looking at for most additions going forward.

He was one of the fastest DEs coming into when he was drafted. Played decent while in Det, was KCs 2nd round pick in 2007. He is 5 years younger that Idonije, and will be a rotational guy at both DT and DE.(I suspect) Was a DT in college.

Well I guess the Bears have the same opinion of 54 as I do, he's GONE.

Bears just announced they cant reach terms with 54 and both are moving on.

Rarely do you find a NFL player that doesnt have a big ego, just stating that a way for him to save face by saying he wants one more run at it. He is only worth what the market bears, but then we should RESPECT HIM by giving him more than hes worth He should have went to the Bears and said how can we get this done, but no (I want 5 mil). Now he faces the fact nobody wants him , so that tells you a lot about what people think of his abiitity after 2 injury laden seasons at 35 years old. I think its time to move on, and find someone that we can live with for the next several years, instead of a 12 game season out of Urlacher.
