The Minnesota Vikings are not currently looking to sign former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, reports NFL.com.

Earlier Tuesday, according to Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times, it seemed liked Urlacher was leaning toward signing with the Vikings.

Instead of bring Urlacher to Minnesota, the plan is for the Vikings to look to players already on the roster to fill their void at middle linebacker.

The Sun-Times reported in March that the Vikings were "monitoring" Urlacher but general manager Rick Spielman said last month he doesn't "anticipate" signing the eight-time Pro Bowler who turns 35 this month.

Sneed reports that Urlacher, who nixed the Bears' $1.6 million contract offer in March, has also been talking to the Broncos.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports the Broncos have no interest in Urlacher.
