Urlacher says he likely won't be at mandatory Bears mini-camp

Chicagosports.com Reports:
Brian Urlacher says he will not attend organized team activities starting Monday and is leaning toward
skipping the Bears' mandatory mini-camp May 30-June 1, but he insists talk of protesting his contract
situation through training camp is premature.

"Training camp is a long way away (July 23), and I expect there will be some dialogue between my agents
and the Bears before then," the linebacker told the Tribune via phone Tuesday from Arizona. "I would hope
it is resolved by then, but the [Bears] haven't responded in a couple of months."

Urlacher wants more than the one-year extension the Bears have offered through 2012, a deal that is
believed to include $5 million up front and up to $1 million added to his contract per year if he participates
in 85 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He has four years left on the nine-year, $57 million contract
he signed in 2003, which included $19 million in bonuses
