Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Urlacher Urlacher, who is seeking a multi-year contract extension that would pad the nine-year, $57-million contract he signed in 2003, has not attended the Bears' on-going voluntary workouts and said he is unsure if he will attend the team's mandatory minicamp May 30-June 1 if a contract agreement is not reached. He also cited the opportunity to spend more time with his children as a reason for staying in Arizona.
lets_go_bills Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Asking price would be too high. He's still one of the best, but would cost too much in the way of trade and money.
BuckeyeBill Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Can you say Pipe Dream. Posluszny is the Brian Urlacher of our Tampa 2 system.
ch19079 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 It wont happen. Not after we just signed a nice OLB in FA. Though, Urlacher definatly deserves a long extention.
bizell Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 urlacher - bad back, getting old, and wants megabucks. probably not going to happen...
K-Gun10 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 And what is is we do with eather Mitchell or CRowell PEOPLE OUR LINEBACKER CORE IS FINE WE NEED SECOND TIER BACKUP GUYS THAT DONT COST ALOT.
MarkyMannn Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Gee, he's signed through 2012. Freaking report. 30 yo with health problems, no thanks
EndZoneCrew Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Next topic please. Totally agree.....lets get serious here.....and if we are going to pay a 30 year old Pro Bowl talent maga bucks from outside the organization...it better be at CB/WR or TE right now
Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Next topic please. Ok Mr. Know It All. Thanks for providing nothing to this thread.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Can you say Pipe Dream. Posluszny is the Brian Urlacher of our Tampa 2 system. Bingo. Give POZ a couple of years please. BTW he's far younger than BU.
nucci Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 It wont happen. Not after we just signed a nice OLB in FA. Though, Urlacher definatly deserves a long extention. Why does he deserve an extension? He signed a 9 year deal and has 4 left.
billygoats Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Why does he deserve an extension? He signed a 9 year deal and has 4 left. this is why i don't understand why players always try to get long contracts. If I were a player I would prefer short contracts that allow you to negotiate every few years without looking like the bad guy. Especially in the current sports market where the next guy to sign always gets more than the last, it really makes no sense from a players stand point to want such long deals yet it seems that they always ask for more years than less. If you aren't going to respect the contract by the middle of the deal you might as well have signed for less years, giving the flexibility to negotiate another contract before your career is over.
inkman Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Ok Mr. Know It All. Thanks for providing nothing to this thread. Do you honestly think The Bears would trade their face of the franchise and arguably the best LB in the game?
