Earlier this week it was reported that Urlacher would be healthy for Training Camp, but now Bears fans have a new concern with the face of their franchise. In an interview with NBCSports.com, Urlacher said that it’s “kind of exciting” when asked about his pending free agency after the season. Owed 7.5 million in the final year of his deal, Urlacher mentions that he has never been a free agent and that’s why he finds it exciting.

Urlacher is entering his 13^th year in the league, all of which have been with the Bears, and, 36 next offseason, it’s unclear if Urlacher will get more on the open market than from the Bears, who would obviously love to keep their most recognizable player. I wouldn’t bet on him going anywhere, but rather that he’ll finish his career in a Bears uniform, whenever that times comes.
