EducatedBet…Give Him What He Wants!

Brian Urlacher

Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo indicated Tuesday that the team won’t budge off its contract offer to linebacker Brian Urlacher, who has been skipping the team’s voluntary workouts while seeking a contract extension.

According to Chicago-area published reports, Urlacher, currently signed through 2011, has been offered a one-year extension with a $5 million guaranteed signing bonus and an extra $1 million per year if he plays 85 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. Urlacher, whose current deal is for nine years and $56 million, including a $13 million signing bonus, wants a multiyear extension with more guaranteed money, according to reports.

In eight NFL seasons, all in Chicago, Urlacher has 970 tackles, including 37½ sacks, eight forced fumbles and 15 interceptions. He had 123 tackles and five interceptions last season. I am not gonna lie to you the Bears should do whatever they have to, to get this man to start the season on the field and not at home.

Look at his stats he averages over 100 tackles 4 sacks and 2 ints a year. Those are pro bowl stats year after year! So to the Bears front office give him what he wants and move on to finding a QB!
