Six-time Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz could be on his way out of Chicago after 13 seasons with the Bears because contract negotiations are going nowhere.

Kreutz is a free agent and agent Mark Bartelstein says ''right now, it doesn't look good.''

Bartelstein and Kreutz had made it clear that the preference was to stay in Chicago, but the odds are dwindling. They were initially looking for a multiyear contract, but Bartelstein says they ''made that clear'' they would be willing to accept a one year deal.
