If Bears Linebacker Brian Urlacher doesn’t get a longer extension on his contract from the Bears, he plans on skipping mandatory mini-camp.

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.

He could be fined up to $8,000 if he doesn’t show up. So not only will he not be getting the higher pay that he is whining for but he will lose money at that. Do what you gotta do Brian.
