Free agent linebacker Brian Urlacher told the Dan Patrick Show today that all he wants to do is play for a team that will win.
“I’m an old fart, so I want to go in there and win,” Urlacher told The Dan Patrick Show earlier in the hour.
But Urlacher is pragmatic. ”Maybe nobody wants me,” Urlacher said. ”But we’re gonna find out.”
He thinks that more teams hadn’t shown interest because no one really believed he’d leave Chicago. And Urlacher said that his agents have spoken to the Vikings, Cowboys, and Cardinals since Urlacher hit the open market.
Playing in a 4-3 defense isn’t a prerequisite. ”I think I could learn a 3-4,” Urlacher said, before addressing the possibility of trying to replace Ray Lewis in Baltimore with a “no thanks.”
I think the reason teams aren’t that interested in Urlacher is because he’s a fraction of the player he once was. The reason the Bears decided not to re-sign Urlacher and instead sign former Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams is because there’s not a drop off in talent.
