(Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears signed linebacker Brian Urlacher to a one-year contract extension on Tuesday, keeping the six- time Pro Bowl selection with the team through the 2012 season.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but according to the team website, which cited a source close to Urlacher, the extension includes $6 million up front and an additional $1 million per year contingent upon his participation in 85 percent of all snaps.
