(CBS) Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher announced Tuesday morning he’s resigning from his role as an NFL analyst at Fox Sports, saying he wants to spend more time with his family and experience retirement in full.

“I really enjoyed working with those guys at Fox Sports 1 out there (in Los Angeles),” Urlacher said in an interview with the Spiegel and Mannelly Show on 670 The Score. “I liked our show, but the travel got to be quite a bit.”

“I just wanted to feel retired. That was my main reason for not doing it anymore, and they were cool about it.”
