I'm not crying over letting people go, just disappointed Crabtree is gone, was my favorite player. BTW everyone should follow him on Twitter if they aren't already, one of the funniest professional out there.

Best line: "Thank sweet Jesus in heaven that Packers play like Vikings when they leave the Packers for the Vikings."

Not surprising at all. Bears offered 1 year at $2 Mill take or leave it offer. It was an ultimatum not a negotiation. Obviously Bears did not want him back.

Urlacher to the Patriots?

According to the Chicago reporters is that he will play for the NFL minimum just to put it back in the face of the Bear's upper management/Emery who doubt his current talent.

Urlacher was a great Bear and gave a lot to the franchise and gave the fans a lot to cheer about, but there wasn't a lot of love lost between he and the fans recently, when he essentially said that they meant nothing. He was a great player but certainly a bit of an ass.
Trestman in an interview basically said he was a good first and second down LB.
Trestman also said just recently that Hester will be nothing but a return man. So thankful he isn't going to mess around with that like Lovie did.

Best for all parties involved. 34 year old LB's who rely on speed and have a bum knee don't have much demand. I'll be surprised if he gets picked up. Would imagine he retreats back to AZ (I ran into him at a Chipotle in Chandler about a month ago), and tries to stay in shape.

Lovie had nothing to do with turning Devin into a WR.

do the Vikings need a linebacker too?

I was actually a Lovie fan, and a Hester fan in general, but I still put some of the blame on Lovie for that. I understand that management paid him like he was one, but once the experiment failed, and failed again, and continued to fail, Lovie as the head coach has to put a stop to it and stop towing the company line.
Sure, most of it goes to management, but I guess my opinion of Lovie was higher than that of management so I expected more.

He'll be out of the league before that deal's up. Artificial bodies can only hold up for so long. Hopefully he saves his money so that he doesn't have to make any more awful cameos on The Mindy Project.

+1

He won't see all those dollars. He's too small and will break down even quicker.

I bet the bears fans you would all love him if he played for the Bears.

You're jealous that a damn good lb plays for a team you despise, so you're stating he is on 'roids without any evidence.

I'm sure we would...and we'd be able to admit that there's something "unnatural" about him.

I am ok with him looking "unnatural" As long as he continues to knock cutler and others on their ars
