So within an hour, Brian Urlacher's divorce from the Bears becomes official, as does Ed Reed's departure from the Ravens

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

I had heard he wanted 7 mil per year.

I like Urlacher. He plays the game hard, but has fun doing it. Great example to lead. Only problem is he admits since his knee injury he's not the same and won't ever be.

He can barely move. His instincts and leadership are up there, but the guy's stiffer than a 45-year-old virgin.

Exactly.

One of the most overrated players in NFL history. Received most of his hype because of the logo on the helmet rather than his impact as a player.

He was an outstanding cover 2 MLB, adept at run support, with the speed an athletic ability to drop in the deep middle in zone.

But I always felt he was lacking the qualities that most guys that get the hype he got had.

He never inspired.

He was just a guy that did his job well.

Thats just about what i wanted to say, his best attribute was that rangy athletic ability you mention, availability and football intelligence... but he never really wowed me with a given facet of his game.

Not a blistering tackler, wasnt a sackmeister, yet he did get it done for a long time... rock solid but unspectacular, if i had to sum it up.

Salary cap is convenient alibi for teams to lowball or release older players when it's really just "you're not what you used to be." #truth

Nice. This = Urlacher.

**Canofbier** · 03-20-2013, 05:36 PM

He must have gone black.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-20-2013, 05:38 PM

Yeah. Urlacher was a good player, and a Pro Bowl caliber LB for several years, but the hype given to him by ESPN and others made the general public think he was the heir of Dick Butkus or the equivalent of Ray Lewis, and that was just preposterous.

He was as probably as good of a MLB as Neil Smith was a DE.

ThatRaceCardGuy · 03-20-2013, 05:38 PM

I have no problem picking the guy up on an inexpensive contract to play a year for us. He may not have a lot left, but it still may be better than 30-40% the mike LBs playing right now. I would take that in a heartbeat.

OrtonsPiercedTaint · 03-20-2013, 05:38 PM

I think he's Champ Bailey in white face paint.
