Originally there was gossip that Urlacher would retire from injury if not given a new contract.
But that appears not to be the case and he just wants another contract.

KFFL RSS FEED said:Mike Mulligan, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears LB Brian Urlacher is threatening to retire due to back and neck problems, according to a league source. If he were to retire, Urlacher would not have to repay any portion of the $13 million signing bonus he received in 2003, when he received a nine-year, $56.65 million deal. Urlacher is currently boycotting the team's offseason workout program and threatening to hold out of minicamp and possibly even training camp if he does not receive a new deal. Urlacher feels he has outplayed his contract and is demanding more money.

Rotoworld said:Brian Urlacher called a report in the Chicago Sun Times that he may be threatening to retire a "gossip column."
"I never said that I was going to quit," Urlacher claims. "Reports like that is why I choose not to speak to the media." Urlacher says the Bears are offering him a one-year extension. They're right to hesitate considering his uneven play in 2007, offseason neck surgery, arthritic back, and age (30 in May).
