Dancing with a former star
It’s this simple: If Brian Urlacher can play, then the Bears should sign him. If he can't, then they shouldn’t. Any questions?
The reality appears to be the Bears don’t believe their Hall-of-Fame-bound middle linebacker can play. OK. Fine. Move along, people, nothing to see here.
It gets murky when you talk money. Urlacher’s camp opened the bidding at something like $5 million and the Bears apparently responded privately, “Here’s taxi fare for O’Hare." Publicly, however, the clown show continued.
