Bears Announce Brian Urlacher Will Not Be Back
"The Brian Urlacher era is over in Chicago.
Urlacher, one of the best and most popular players the Bears have ever had, will not return to the team, it was announced on Wednesday. We were unable to reach an agreement with Brian and both sides have decided to move forward,” Bears General Manager Phil Emery said in a statement. “Brian has been an elite player in our league for over a decade. He showed great leadership and helped develop a winning culture over his time with the Bears. We appreciate all he has given our team, on and off the field. Brian will always be welcome as a member of the Bears.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...l-not-be-back/ Any takers??? I know one team that could use some defensive help. |

we do need help at linebacker but i'm just not sure he has anything left.
Same for Ed Reed at safety ... great name, not much play left.

Good fit would be the Ravens just to fill in for the guy who murdered his way to his second Super Bowl. Ray Lewis was at his tail end and if Ulacher can give one good year for them and they draft this year that spot they could just have themselves another run.

I was struck by how shallow we are at linebacker. We only have six under contract. The only three that I consider locks are Hali, Johnson, and Houston.
The other three (Studebaker, Greenwood, and Sturdivant) are nothing to write home about and could easily be upgraded. Even if we kept all six for a 34 defense we will likely need two more. But my guess is that we'll draft a couple and sign a couple free agents because I don't see us not trying to upgrade. We need one starter inside and at least two upgrades for depth, IMO. |

I've said for awhile he was overrated at this point. He was playing on one leg last season.
I'd say he is done. Praying Dorsey doesn't want him.

The main problem with Brian and Reed is the amount of money they feel they're worth. If we could get both at a good price, anyone who says no would be an idiot. They both are excellent leaders, that can still play at a solid level, and since I feel we are in a "win now" mindset with this new regime, I could see how either one would work out.

Ed Reed tells @AlbertBreer he's headed to Texans "unless something changes" http://on.nfl.com/ZLLWsi Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 5m So within an hour, Brian Urlacher's divorce from the Bears becomes official, as does Ed Reed's departure from the Ravens Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 18m While there were reports of Reed getting in the $4 million range, I would not be surprised at all if its closer to $6M per year
