Urlacher had been rumored to be interested in signing with the Vikings as a free agent, but nothing ever came of it.
As Josh Alper of NBCSports.com put it: “The decision might have been different had Urlacher found a more robust market for his services as a free agent this offseason, but there was barely any market to speak of for the eight-time Pro Bowler.”
