My favorite memory of Brian Urlacher as a Bear has to be when he called their entire fan base a bunch of meatheads.

I would have traded Urlacher for Lewis, flaws and all. Any day.

Bears season ticket holder here…look meatheads, Ray Lewis has two Super Bowl rings. This isn’t even a conversation. Frankly Urlacher isn’t in Lewis’ league. He was fun to watch though, for a long time. That’s it.

I hope Urlacher comes back, but only if its for a one-year $3 mil deal. Bears must draft his replacement in the second round and give him the whole year to learn.

Butkus, Singletary and Urlacher. Over three decades of HOF level performance at the MLB position. The rest of the NFL is jealous. They’re just waiting for the next HOF guy to get to town. Chi-town.

You forgot Hall of Famer Bill George who played MLB for the Bears from 1952 to 1965.

Im seeing a lot of bad talk about RAY and in all fairness the media put the mic in front of him every chance they got. RAY was just being his self.

What are the cowboys going to pay him with? They are in Cap-He11, can’t even afford to pay their second rate quarterback. Besides, just ask Jenny McCarthy, Urlacher has nothing left in the tank, he’s done.

@RayRay-Your right he is not Ray Lewis because Urlacher is not a murder!!!!!

He’s not Ray Lewis. Correct – he is not a blowhard, has never been complicit in murder as far as we know (and therefore did not “conveniently” find his savior), does not CRAVE the spotlight, and does not caused an entire nation to reach for the remote every time his mug shows up on TV. BU has been a fantastic player, the face of the Bears and a great role model for youngsters. He’s not Ray and that is a very good thing indeed.

Bear Down!

Urlacher’s done. He can’t make a play anymore unless the ball comes right at him in his little 7-yard box. And he can’t even bend at the waist anymore.

You’re done buddy. Move on.

@ rayray

You’re right. He is not Ray Lewis. He was never involved in offing someone.

I hope Jerry does sign him in Dallas. How did Keith Brooking and Zack Thomas work out. Keep signing old linebackers Cowboys

He is not Ray Lewis

You’re right! Urlacher has never been involved in a driveby shooting, nor has he ever been accused of killing anyone’s father. That may not make urlacher a better linebacker, but it does make him a better human being…

Was always fun to watch, but have to agree with Peytonsneck. I think B.U. is done.

your right he is not ray lewis, they dont play the same position. Rays job was to attack, Brians job was to defend, they both are masters of thier defensive. Urlacher’s brain is is almost more important as his body, when on the field he controls the entire defence.

beardown5406 — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:12:04 +0000

Urlacher is a beast! yeah… he might be getting old, but his mind and sences to read offences are getting better with age. he is a true leader and is grate vlue to any defence. all u haters are probably cheese heads!

This is a no brainer…unfortunately. Bears have one LB on the roster, a new DC, and Urlacher knows the calls and the D better than anyone. I wish they could afford to go younger, but they have too many other needs.

To all you “know-it-all” fans, a MLB is only as good at his defensive tackles. If the d-line can’t control the line of scrimmage, it doesn’t matter who your MLB is. Take a look at the last 4-5 linebackers that won Defensive Player of the Year awards, and look at that d-line. My money is that they were awesome.

As a Packers’ fan I’d like to see him stay in Chicago as I like it when iconic players who are the face of a franchise for so many years finish where they started. Unfortunately, that means much more to fans than to the vast majority of the players. Maybe Urlacher is an exception. It’d be nice to see. The problem is the price. Under the rules of the NFL, you have to sign a player to a contract for what you expect in the future not what he’s done in the past. Cold but true reality. If I were Chicago I’d offer nothing beyond 2 years and nothing more than 4- 5 million/year on the high end and hope he wants to stay.

Urlacher led the team in tackles until he got hurt. He has never been about himself like others. He’s a true team player. Ray Lewis always had to have a camera in front of him. He was all about attention. Yeah he was good. No doubt. But Brian Urlacher is what a TEAM player resembles.

One thing Brian has in common with Ray is that he also doesn’t know who stabbed those two guys.

I like Urlacher, but rather see Dallas go after McClain, who was just released, and put him and Carter on the outside and keep Lee at MLB

Yes, we all know how easy it is to replace a HOF MLB (defensive QB)…….

Step up Bears as the man has been the face of your franchise for a decade and carried the crown well.

Ray Lewis and Urlacher are all pro LB’s, both Hall of Fame candidates as well. Bottom line is, Urlacher faces a knee injury that he can’t shake…This will most likely be his final year where ever he lands…

Ray Lewis was a beast his entire NFL career when healthy, there is no arguing that…

It would be a shame to see him in any other uniform.
