The Bear didn't want Urlacher at all this year. Emery wanted to move on. They felt like they had to offer him something. If they wanted him and Urlacher would have played for $3 million, just $1 million more, they would have a deal. Urlacher didn't want to lower himself to playing for exactly what the Bears demanded, so his career is over with the Bears. Stinks that it had to come to this, but expected due to Urlacher's injuries and decline in production.
