I don't see how he would just let the Bears stop paying him w/out some legal action. My guess is that the Bears don't owe him a thing, and never have.


But Wilbur Marshall said that anyone can go to nfl.com and look up his contract to see that the 19 year reference can be found (I haven't done it yet). The Bears are a notorious club for putting the screws to players during Wilbur's day.

Maybe the organization is better to deal with now that the MacKladcy's (sp) sold there majority ownership to the present people. I get the impression Wilbur Marshall was just too naive and nice to the Bears.

I think Wilbur Marshall was the first FA that the Skins signed. They got him for 6 MIL big ones back in the day.
