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.

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.
