Whoever the new HC is, I hope he looks into this. Urlacher wouldn’t be worth a first-day draft pick IMO, but if we could package something up, I would love to see #54 in orange and blue.

What if we sign Urlacher, and put him in a 3-4 with Woodyard at WLB, DJ at WMLB, Urlacher at SMLB, and an unnamed draft pick (named Cushing) at SLB? And then signed Haynesworth to be the NT? I would like that.

Nate Webster, Boss Bailey, Karl Paymah, Josh Bell for him

Marlon McCree, Marquand Manuel, Dewayne Roberston, John Engleberger

Urlacher would be a temporary fix at a position that we need a long term answer.

With the MLB depth in the upcoming draft I think we should look for a long term solution.

But neither fact means that he isn’t better than anybody the Broncos have at MLB right now. He makes too many tackles 5 yards downfield in the running game, but he covers a lot of ground.

i live in chicago so i end up watching a lot of the games. he is WAY past his prime. he would not be the solution there.

…the only thing I’d want him for is his leadership and experience. Really though we’d have to give up a 2nd rounder, maybe even a first and with either one of the picks we could draft a productive LB who’s upside is greater than Urlacher’s current talent.

Then again I wouldn’t be disappointed at all if we got him, in fact I’d be happier but if I was in the front office, which sadly I am not, the only thing I’d trade our numerous picks for is to climb higher in the draft.

But a good post with a reasonable idea.

I agree with several posters that he’s past his prime, and a potential injury problem. I also agree that he’s an injury risk. He would be an immediate fix, but if Denver is going to reach the promised land, we need to sacrifice immediate fixes for long term solutions. Just my opinion.

I would like to see him get a look before Urlacher. Cheaper price for sure. He played with D.J. in college. Did well for the Saints this past season.

if the Broncos draft someone, he better darn well be able to get right in there and do some damage. I’m tired of analysts talking about the lack of drafted Broncos in a starting role for this team. The whole “building your team through free agency doesn’t work” thing is starting to kill me.

Draft Mayes, sign Urlacher, and run what he used to at New Mexico, basically a 4-2-5 defense, have Urlacher lose about 15 pounds, and put him as a rover, have Barrett and Mayes as the other two safeties, Williams and Woodyard as the backers, and see if we could get Peppers and Haynesworth. Now you would have three safeties that are all 220 lbs plus, can run and hit, and can blitz, me starting to like that idea alot, creates all sorts of nasty mismatches for us to use, plus nobody will want to ctach a pass between the hash marks.
