Sign-Trade-Release: Chicago Bears' Middle Linebackers

Sign Singletary. He’s one of tha reasons I started watchin the bears.

Trade Lach. Love him but I’ve got mike.

Release butkus. Didn’t see him play so I have no ties to him. Waiver wire

This probably boasts the three most talented at a given position, but I felt it was also the easiest to decide on. It would be hard to not sign arguably the best of all time, get trade value from an athletic freak, and release the guy who probably would not have put up the numbers he did without the people around him.

I’d sign Dick Butkus for the sheer fact that he was the most menacing LB in the history of the game and he’s my personal favorite Bear of all time. He did everything well and didn’t really have any weaknesses. He had athleticism, smarts and of course toughness. He changed the position and the game.

I’d trade Mike Singletary. He was the epitome of a leader and yes he did play behind some of the best defensive players in history but it takes an elite player to shine among a group of elite players.

I’d release Urlacher. This is no knock on him but I don’t think he’s better than those 2 guys.

He’s good. He’ll likely get into the hall as well. But he’s just not on the level of Butkus or Singletary.

And between those two… I’ve gotta go Butkus. Singletary is great, but Butkus is a force of nature.

I’d sign the Samurai. He may very well be the most intelligent LB I have ever seen play the game. Not only that but he was a man among men on the D. I think beyond a shadow of a doubt he could have played in any era on any style of D and still be one of the greatest football players of all time.

I’d trade Butkus. I chose not to sign him, based upon “modern” NFL rules. Butkus was a vicious hitter. He however would be handcuffed in the NFL today. Not to mention the knee problems (I know this is in his prime) that could and did cut his career short. I would trade him in hopes that a team in a win now mode would sacrifice much to get him.

I’d release Urlacher. Love him. Love everything about his playing ability. BUT, as said many times already he is not as great as Butkus or SIngletary. Furthermore, I couldn’t trade him for much. Even in his prime many outside Chicago considered him overrated.

what can you say about the beast that hasn’t been said

Trade Mike, another HOF’er, would bring a solid amount in the market

release Brian, of the 3, he’s the worst, which in this case is the equivalent to hitting on 3 women and taking home the 3rd best looking, and she’s a super model

on the grounds of blasphamy, to have to choose between these three.

Madness? THIS.IS.DILFER!!

Sign all 3 and dominate the #&@*$ out of people

Though, Urlacher is the Bears all time leading tackling linebacker..right?

but this is relatively easy. Sign Butkus, trade Singletary , release Urlacher. Urlacher is the best athlete of the three but in terms of overall effectiveness as a middle linebacker he is far below the other two.

into a thunderdome like environment. Keep the two that survive.

I can’t believe I have allowed myself to be part of this nonsense.
Trade and Release some of our greatest players never,never,NEVER.

makes me want to leave a flaming squirrel in a paper bag on Dave’s doorstep and ring the bell.

“cant do it” – Mike Singletary

Next thing, will you be asking if I like mommy or daddy the most?

Sign Butkus: Greatest LB of ALL-TIME
Trade Singletary: (see below)
Release Urlacher: Yes, he’s a beast, a veritable freak of nature. That’s great for Cover/Tampa 2. Singletary can dominate in a 4-3, 3-4, 2-5, 5-2, or whatever amoeba-like defenses are being trotted out these days. Urlacher is a great player, no doubt, but he makes his HOF case b/c of Tampa 2. Singletary made his HOF case b/c he was a dominant MLB.
