shibuya Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 NO.. Sign youth players only. I want nothing to do with over 30 players on this team. They won't be here in 3 years when this team might be ready to make a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oh wow...I didn't see that. I was apparently mistaken, as it was Ed Werder that reported the $3.5M/year number, but that was for one year: Ed Werder Brian Urlacher was willing to return to Bears for 1-year, $3.5 million with $500K incentives. Bears offered half that. Thanks for clarifying. he just did a fresh interview on Mike and Mike and I think his agent mustve gotten in his ear about the comment. he eased off the price (ie likely reminded he was going to price himself out of any offers) and was much less harsh on chicago (back to being a good soldier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsox Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Chicago offered $2 million for 1 year. He wants 5-6 million LOL, He's washed up. What a joke this guy is to think he could command that much Money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukethis Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Have you noticed the mad scramble by the other 31 teams to sign the 34 y.o. LB that the 32nd team wants to get rid of ? And you think a rebuilding team should sign him ? Maybe Dick Butkus should be signed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Bears may have low balled him some, but what he's asking for IMO is outrageous. I think his true value is a lot closer to bears offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliBillsfan Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 What would make anyone here believe the FO is going to do anything? Weve got so many holes and have signed 1 player even 9er fans have no idea ho he is or was as a 1st round pick.??? I live in SoCal and most of my friends are 9er fans, when i asked how was Lawson as a 9er they all said the same thing "Who!" lmao Buffalo fans know ever pick over the last 20 years in the 1st and 2nd rounds. This FO still has hopes Marcus Easly is a great reciever!?!?!?!? Guy hasnt done squat but we hold onto him... Were terrible. And yet every day we hold on to the hope were gonna turn it around and still run to the boards to see if we signed someone to help fill this roster. Not easy being a fan thats for sure. As long as that stadium seats get full and that Toronto Deal is in place, Their making money and dont have to spend to keep the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsp08 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Urlacher IMO would be worth more than whatever Mario is making just even for the leadership qualities. But I am afraid he's knees wouldn't last a full season. Boy was he a force in his prime, remember this Monday night game? He was a monster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Chicago_Bears_season#Week_6:_at_Arizona_Cardinals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegasbillzfan42 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It would be nice to add a veteran player like Urlacher and have him in our locker room. The only problem is he playes in a 4:3. Were not going to be anywhere neer looking like a 4:3. He wouldnt be able to help on the field in a pressure 3:4. From what i've read and heard about Pettin and his D. We need fast flowing hitters for LB's. Sideline to sideline:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I think, as much as anything, the new Bears regime really didn't want to bring him back, so they low-balled him..made him an offer they knew he would refuse. This is sort of a passive agressive way of trying to pass the blame onto the "greedy player", as his departure is likely to piss off some Bears fans. I think this type of thing happens a lot, when you see aging star players leaving their long-time teams. The Bears probably didn't expect him to go public with the dollar figures. With a new coach, are probably thinking long-term, and want to move on from the Lovie Smith era...Urlacher, maybe the most beloved current Bears player probably overestimated the value of that status. In truth, he is a very talented player, with a lot of mieage, and a long history of injury. I have no doubt he can still contribute (I think he was more overrated earlier in his career, and got much better over time), but investing a lot in him at this point doesn't make a lot of sense for the Bears. Under Trestman, it appears, the Bears are putting most of their eggs in the offensive basket... Edited March 21, 2013 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Urlacher wants 5ish per year, mostly guaranteed where Chicago is willing to barter just at 2 gauranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraq Vet Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) $2.5 Base and another million if he makes 6+ sacks and over 110 tackles, plus a Post Season bonus (if the Bills make the playoffs) of another 2 million. Totally worth it!!! Edited March 21, 2013 by Iraq Vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 He has spent his entire career as a MLB in a 4-3 Cover 2 defense so why on earth would he be a good fit in the Bills mainly 3-4 defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
