It’s called the “McCaskey Effect”. This story is getting old, but nonetheless, the headline is true. The Bears’ brass needed to put all the cards on the table up front. A counter offer should’ve never come into play. They’re up against the cap and that’s just part of this business. All the Bears needed to do was tell Urlacher that we’d love to keep you here and you’ve been a great player for this team for 14 years. Make your bottom line offer as to what you need to come back and we’ll tell you up front “Yes we can work with that or No we can’t work with that”! Urlacher deserved better than this, but just the same, he’s been taken care of here in Chicago. Right now his pride is hurt and he’ll eventually move on.
