Should the Packers go after Brian Urlacher?

I know that there's gotta be somebody out there who wants former Bears LB Brian Urlacher to sign with the Packers. But I'm here to tell you that that move would be nothing but a stupid waste of money. Let's be honest, Bear or Packer, Urlacher isn't what he used to be. He has gone from the best LB in football to an always-injured non-productive veteran who only plays because of his history. Right now, the Packers are fine with their linebacker situation. Clay Matthews is an absolute beast while Urlacher is the exact opposite. Although Urlacher would probably sign for a small amount of cash, he still wouldn't be worth it. If they do sign him, it would be nothing more than a publicity stunt.

I was wondering about it too, Urlacher was still a great player a couple years ago, but everything I've read recently seems to agree that 2012 was a bad year for him. He's just not the same player anymore. Linebacker is not a position that lends itself to a long career, and he's had a longer career than most, but I think it's the end for him.
