It was expected by many but made official today. Brian Urlacher, who spent his thirteen seasons in the National Football League as the face of their franchise and star Linebacker for the Chicago Bears called it a career today after testing free agency this past off season when his contract was not resigned. Urlacher believed that he could have kept playing in the NFL (and he probably could) but stated that he “didn't want to put another jersey on for any other team. Obviously, it wasn't going to be for the Bears this year, so I thought it was the right thing to do to shut it down."
We can wager that Urlacher’s number has a good chance of being retired by Chicago, and we think he has a great chance for the ultimate post career accolade; the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is a four time First Team All Pro, and an eight time Pro Bowl selection. We expect that he will be ranked high once eligible. We would like to thank Brian Urlacher for all the memories on the field.
