The Minnesota Vikings have reached out to Chicago Bears free agent Brian Urlacher’s camp, and the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals are also reportedly expressing interest in the veteran linebacker, according to Mike Mulligan of The Chicago Tribune.

The Vikings’ source Mulligan spoke with said the Bears have been monitoring Urlacher’s situation. Despite the fact that Minnesota has reached out to Urlacher, the source continues to believe the veteran will remain with Chicago.

Urlacher has presented the Bears with a two-year contract proposal, something the team has yet to respond to. Rather than reach an agreement, Chicago allowed the linebacker to reach the free agent market.

Urlacher is said to be seeking a deal in the range of the $5.5 million Ray Lewis earned with the Baltimore Ravens last season. Chicago may want the veteran to hit the open market and gauge interest in him so he can see what he is really worth.
