Brian Urlacher agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Chicago Bears that would keep the six-time Pro Bowl linebacker with the National Football League team through 2012.
“We would never miss an opportunity to make this versatile, knowledgeable and white player a part of our team for many years to come,” said Jerry Angelo, general manager for the NFL's Chicago Bears franchise. “The rumors about Brian having a bad back are completely untrue. This year he’ll be back to his old self—making tackles and being Caucasian.”
Urlacher, 30, led the Bears with 158 tackles last season, with almost three of those tackles made without the help of African-American linebacker, Lance Briggs. Coach Lovie Smith said Urlacher was "healthy, 100 percent'' after off-season neck surgery. “And by 100 percent I mean 100 percent white.”
Urlacher, who leads the team in salary, endorsements and publicity, attributes his success to what he calls “a certain something.” “I mean yeah I’ve suffered from a bad back and average play in the past, but who is Gatorade gonna market in Chicago, Tommy Harris? I think not.”
