Urlacher on way out of Chicago?

[Craig Smith]

Per a KFFL article.

Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun Times has reported that Urlacher's agent has asked the team to explore trade options, as Urlacher feels he has outplayed his current contract and wants more money.

Thats insane considering his current contrack is paying him a base salary of 4 mil this year and 5 mil next year, over 6 mil in 2010 and over 7 mil in 2011. That doesn't even include his annual $50,oo0 a year work out bonus

That's surprising. I wouldn't want to see Urlacher in another uniform.

Which includes Urlacher threatening medical retirement...

I think its a bad idea on Urlacher's part. He will be 30 when the season starts, not necessarily the best age to start trying to throw our weight around, since its considered the peaking moment before things go down hill...

Forgot to mention the threat of ritirement using his neck surgery as a cover.

It was reported on ESPN First Take this morning. So yea he did. Two sources from different parts on the country is a definate confirmation.

It was also on Mike and Mike this morning, he was using his injuries as an excuse, but that doesnt provide leverage, only an excuse for the team not to sign him.

[Joey_Potter]

I guess what I meant to say was, "No Joey, Craig Smith did not forget to mention the threat of retirement. He clearly brings it up right here...

Ah ok. I got ya. Miscommunication. That's cool.

However to feed my ever growing ego I will also take it as an apology. lol

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Here is what is posted on Rotoworld.com:

"Brian Urlacher called a report in the Chicago Sun Times that he may be threatening to retire a "gossip column."

"I never said that I was going to quit," Urlacher claims. "Reports like that is why I choose not to speak to the media." Urlacher says the Bears are offering him a one-year extension. They're right to hesitate considering his uneven play in 2007, offseason neck surgery, arthritic back, and age (30 in May)."
