We'll see how this one plays out. I really would rather not have the distraction of Briggs going into next year, but I guess if they traded Briggs it would open the door for other players to demand trades/say they're never going to play for the Bears again.

So we keep a guy who won't play for us? Cmon Angelo your better than this.

Washington was offering them a horseshit deal. I'm glad they told them to either sign Briggs to an offer sheet, or to stick it.

As Red would say " DUMBASS"

The deal was bad for the Bears and the Bears were going to trade the 6th pick if they got it probably for a mid round early 20 pick as it would cost too much against their salary cap to get a player that high.
