Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that a source with knowledge of the situation has informed him that the Chicago Bears are currently “engaged in ongoing discussions” with free agent LB Brian Urlacher regarding a contract extension.

Florio believes the Cowboys would be “wise‘ to pursue Urlacher if he were to become available given that they’ll be installing 4-3 defensive scheme this year.

Urlacher, 34, has said that he intends to finish his career with the Bears and has even mentioned that he would be willing to offer them a hometown discount to be back.

All things considered, it’s a safer bet to assume that Urlacher will be back in Chicago next season.
