In honor of Brian Urlacher leaving Chicago, here's Tom Brady juking him
Of course, we've all seen this video before. I feel like Brady has one of these surprisingly athletic but not really that athletic moves every year. Last year it might've been either his scramble for a TD against Buffalo or when he kicked Ed Reed in the balls, can't decide which I liked more.
Anyway, Brian Urlacher is leaving Chicago after they basically told him they don't want him anymore. Here's Urlacher on neogiations.
Chicago Tribune:
"It wasn’t even an offer, it was an ultimatum," Urlacher told the Tribune. "I feel like I’m a decent football player still. It was insulting, somewhat of a slap in the face.
"They came back with the offer and said, 'This is what it is, take it or leave it. It was, 'If you want to play for the Bears, you’ll play for this. If not, then you’re not playing for the Bears.' "
So there you have it. Will the Patriots sign him? Probably not. They already have enough slow linebackers, and that position is way down on the priority list.
It's always strange to see players that have been staples for their franchises move on to other teams. Peyton Manning last year, and now Ed Reed and Brian Urlacher this year. Its just another reason why I am so happy that Brady signed that extension a few weeks ago, ensuring he'll be a Patriot until he's 40.
