Just in case you guys missed it in the headlines today, the Bears and Brian Urlacher finally agreed on a deal that made both sides happy. It was definitely only a matter of time until both parties got this done, so now I am just glad it is over with, especially with camp starting on Tuesday. Now Urlacher needs to just lead the team by example, and hopefully he can get that defense playing again like it did a couple years ago.
You can read more about the deal here, but here are some of the main tidbits about it...
Urlacher, 30, had four years and approximately $25.5 million remaining on his contract. Under the terms of the upgraded deal, Urlacher will receive a $6 million signing bonus along with a $1 million bump in salary each of the next four years. The sides also have agreed to extend the pact into 2012, at a salary of $7.5 million. Urlacher can earn an additional $500,000 in a workout bonus in 2012.
That's a total of roughly $43.5 million over the next five years, with $18 million in new money for the six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All Pro.
GO BEARS!!!
