The latest on Briggs: Bears want more

Well, Adam Schefter from NFL Network is reporting that the Redskins will NOT offer up a player in addition to the 6th overall pick. It's a take it or leave it deal from their end.

We may not be 100% nuts after all.

Good. Let them be stubborn. They need this trade more than we do... even if they cannot admit it.

Nice! that's just what i was lookin for.
I was thinkin today how this thing might shake out if Briggs decides to pull a D.Branch. I wonder what they'd let him go for during the season? I get the feeling from what everyone says about the Bears org. that it might come to that, him holding out & the Bears dealing him to the highest bidder during the season.

Its frustrating that the skins even made this offer, which was reportedly made. I just can't see how we would give up so much to get McIntosh last year, only to basically give up on him. Come on skins, we have alot more pressing needs than LB???? It doesn't make sense.

On another thread, it was asserted that Danny Boy offered this trade at the owners meeting in the form we now see it.

ASSUME FOR A MOMENT THAT IS CORRECT !!!

Of course the Bears should ask for more. After all, if it went down the way it was asserted on that other thread, Danny Boy set the floor for the negotiations with his offer; there's no way the Skins can go back to any counter-offer with less than they offered in the first place - - unless Danny Boy wants to look like a horse's ass to his fellow owners and football afficionados. [Remenber, Danny NEVER likes to look like a horse's ass even though he does do that more than once in a while...] :doh:

So, the Bears will counter with some offer to try to get more and then the REAL acumen of the Skins' FO as negotiators will come to view. How do they respond? Do they pull their current offer off the table? Do they make it a "take-it-or-leave-it proposition"? If the Bears want Marshall, do they counter with Rocky - - or vice-versa?

The deal as it stands now would be a HUGE bargain for the Skins - - if they actually needed another linebacker which they do not. For the value of a mid-first round pick, they would be getting a Pro Bowl quality linebacker. That's a good deal.

So, when the Bears ask for more - - as they damned well should - - how much more should the Skins be willing to fork over to get a Pro Bowl linebacker when that is NOT their current most pressing need by a longshot?

Suppose the Bears ask for next year's first round pick too? :nono:

How about next year's second round pick? :confused:

How about Rocky AND Golston? :)

How about Randle-El? :thumb:

Take a deep breath and try to think about all this without emotion because that's how the Bears and hopefully the Skins' FO folks are going to do this...

My hope is that they make the current offer a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposition with about a 72-hour deadline. Then we can move on with or without Lance Briggs in town.


:bdh:

Why are so many people ready to give up on Marshall? I would say that he has more value than Rocky or Golston at this point.

I would give them Montgomery and that is it. We are doing them a favor by taking this guy off their hands.

I agree with ya SC! I just really hope we don't do something stupid by offering up any players along with the draft pick.

Rocky's value is high primarily because of what was given up to get him in the first place.

What's wrong with waiting a year for Briggs if we want him so bad? There is no long term deal from Chitown in the works, won't he be a FA after this season unless they franchise him again?
