Brian Urlacher Will Skip Mandatory Camp
Though it has been hinted at by Brian Uralcher himself and a few others it has been made official, through Lance Briggs? that the middle linebacker will no show madatory mini camp because he is unhappy with his contract.
He is subject to fine based on this:
While the fine can total only $8,165, more than $5.7 million is potentially at stake if Urlacher boycotts minicamp. That represents the pro-rated portion remaining on the $13 million signing bonus he received with his nine-year, $56.65 million contract extension in 2003. As in all NFL player contracts, there's specific signing bonus forfeiture language in Urlacher's contract. If he's in default by missing a mandatory activity, the club could choose to deal with him in similar fashion to the way the Denver Broncos pursued fines and forfeitures with AWOL wide receiver Ashley Lelie two summers ago.

It's always a good idea
to lose out on millions of dollars when you’re trying to gain millions of dollars. Way to go from being one of the biggest fan favorites ever to just another money-grubbing scumbag, Bri. I guess the money means more to you.
