I'll preface it as a rumor, but a very reliable source has told me the 'Hawks are having internal discussions about a former Bears middle linebacker.....
Let the discussion begin

Just curious what makes you think Wagner will regress signifigantly?
Personally, i suppose if its for near the vet minimum i'd be fine with it. Otherwise, no thank you on Urlacher.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

He can't blitz anymore, he can't cover. In no way is he an upgrade.
Wenhawk wrote:Considering he felt shafted when the Bears offerd him $2.5 I'd suspect he thinks he's worth more than that.

You may think that playing 3-4 outside linebacker is a huge help as far as making the left side of this particular list. You may be right. There have been a few 4-3 outside linebackers and the occasional middle linebacker like Brian Urlacher over the past few seasons, but it definitely helps you collect negative plays if you're moving on the snap.

The guy was listed in the top 10. The only middle linebacker who made the list and he consistently makes the list. He's a special talent and anyone who buys into the "he's washed up" myth has been buying into the whole Bears fans excuses for why their team blew their shot at the playoffs. People like to find scapegoats.
Oh and btw, Bobby didn't make that list.
Seems I recall our team had a need for run stoppers as the season progressed.

SalishHawkFan wrote:Haha, that's probably about where I stand too actually. I don't think everyone should rag on him as being over the hll, Urlacher is still an elite MLB. I wouldn't replace Wagner with him, but he could have a place on our team.
