CHICAGO (WBBM) - It's NFL free agent season and there's intrigue with the Bears.
Brian Urlacher's barely one of the top 10 paid Bears and sources tell WBBM Newsradio 780 now he wants a new contract. According to sources, talks continue. Urlacher's nine-year package runs through 2011, but leaves him outside of the top ten paid linebackers.
Talks are ongoing, and percolating just as ProBowl linebacker Lance Briggs reaches full free-agency. Briggs could be the highest paid linebacker depending on who the Bears free agent milks on the open market. San Francisco, Tampa and New Orleans are just three of the teams interested.
Free agent wide receiver Bernard Berrian flies a private jet to Minnesota for a visit with the Vikings today, and may come away with a big offer. Berrian's agent says he'll keep the Bears in the loop. Bernard Berrian huddles with Vikings officials today. Philadelphia may also be in line for the free agent receiver.
Veteran quarterback Brian Griese is reportedly trade bait. |
