I wonder how safe One Man Gang is right now? Rob Jackson and Marcus White playing really well throughout the preseason. I dont think Marcus White makes it through waivers back to our practice squad. I think it might come down to L.Alexandar being a great special teams player. Its going to be interesting.

We've ran that rabbit once before. Hell no. I have issue with a guy who's 3 years into a heavily front loaded contract wanted to renegotiate. They've already paid all the big money so now he's using that same tactic as before. I normally favor players in situations like these (especially rookie contracts), but **** Lance Briggs.

This. Don't want him...don't need him.

Two articles on Briggs, 2nd one is older

and

Bears' Linebacker Lance Briggs, an Underrated Star | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/392171-bears-linebacker-lance-briggs-an-underrated-star)

I don't know Chicago's defense, so I don't know if he makes sense to try for or not, just a "named" player.

If we're going to bring someone this late, they better be from a 3-4 defense. Regardless, I think it'd be stupid to trade for anyone at this point.

So 864 players will be cut between now and tomorrow at 6pm. Of those players, only 256 will find spots on the practice squads. Does anyone think that the Skins might find a useful player in those cuts? Anyone expecting any surprises?

I thought it was interesting on the broadcast last night that Bruce Allen left open the possibility of trades happening before tomorrow evening. We have a roster that seems to have some hidden talent, I wonder if we might be looking for a couple draft picks rather than just cutting players. Also Lance Briggs has formally asked the Bears to trade him, per Twitter.

I hope that we pick up a young QB to develop. It is hard to predict who without knowing who got cut. But if Ariz cuts Bartel, we should bring him back for a second tour in DC.

Apparently to someone it looked like Torain was on the cut list until Royster got his concussion.. wow so does Royster go on IR, if this is the case?

Seems a little extreme to IR someone for a mild concussion.

I think the smart move is Royster to the PS. Torain isn't eligible for the PS, and I don't anyone would pick up Royster. In this situation, we get to keep both of them. So as far as these two go, I think that's the ideal move.

Lance Briggs again? Remember the proposed trade w/the bears in 07; our #6 for Briggs & #31? We got Landry w/that pick.

Briggs is approaching the age of decline & he's always been a weak side 4-3 OLB. We've got 2 great starters at OLB & as we saw last night we could have a couple pretty good backups in Jackson & White.

Lance Briggs and his agent Rosenhaus are both just real POS. This guy whined and complained to get the big deal and now he is bitching to renegoiate just half way through a 6 year deal? Eff that bullsh*t, Bears arent gonna give in and trade him aways. Dont want him here.
