    in my not-so-expert opinion, i will give it approximately a 1.7% chance of happening. . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    No chance. He's looking for the big payday, plus there's no telling what kind of player he'll become without Urlacher.

    Zero, but I could see the Texans getting him if the Bears don't resign, they don't make a lot of big splashes but I think this is one they'd consider. Redskins may just be too far into cap hell to get him.

    There are always ways to work the cap to sign a big FA...

    Let's not start with character issues because the guy wants to get paid. It has never affected him during the season and he does nothing but produce...

    As far as production goes, I think it's ridiculous to think he only gets tackles because people run away from Urlacher. If that's the case, how does Urlacher get his tackles?

    It is rumored that the Redskins and 49ers have him as their #1 free agent... so he won't come cheap.

    We have to stop going after these types of players that MAY help us and at the same time, killing our cap..............Our Defensive line is coming along nicley through two drafts and should get the final push this April, hopefully drafting a DT................We just need to draft some Linebackers................And when was the last time we drafted a Linebacker? .................If we somehow got Sedrick Ellis with our 1st round pick, we could look at Curtis Lofton from Oklahoma with our 2nd round pick..........Ben Moffit could be had in the 4th, same with Silva and we have two 4th round picks.................Think back only to last year when half the fans, not me, wanted us to trade our entire upper portion of our draft to get Calvin Johnson..................Now, we have a Receiver BETTER than Johnson and he only cost us a 4th round pick...............I really think there are plenty of players in the later rounds that could fix our Linebacking problems without costing us a fortune.

    I just checked......since 2003, we have drafted a total of TWO Linebackers..............DJ in 2004 and Terry Pierce in 2003...............This is the problem AND the reason we shouldn't sign a FA Linebacker. Let Webster and Winborn hang tough until we draft someone better.

    ...or we could just draft someone better...

    I think we need to take a shot at a couple of linebackers, if not for a little depth, which we haven't had, and maybe some better special teams play, as well.
