NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

Aussie_Skins_Fan · 03-28-2007, 09:47 AM

Where i am going with this, is draft day trade:

If a d-lineman that we are after looks like going at 28ish, maybe Marshall could be part of a trade deal to move up.

I agree with you 100%. This is a bad rumor that I hope was fabricated by Rosenhaus to force the Bears to make a longterm commitment to Briggs. The Skins do not need to screw with the linebacking crew. They need defensive line, offensive line and secondary improvement.

The tricky part now for agent Drew Rosenhaus and Briggs is getting the Bears to go along with the plan. That isn't going to happen very quickly. ''We're going to take it under advisement, and if it is something we're going to pursue, we'll get back to them,'' Bears GM Jerry Angelo said. ''We are not negotiating through the media.'' Team president Ted Phillips added: ''Our position has been made pretty clear on this.''.

If the above story is true, and we do in fact trade for Briggs (two big ifs), I will puke. $7.5M per season and $20M guaranteed for a OLB? That's CB money, even in today's hyperinflated market.

So the deal isn't dead. Maybe it wasn't a "joke" ?

"sources" could be another name for Drew Rosenhaus again.

still not buying it

Lance Briggs is rated higher than Joey Porter and look at the money he got. If we land him its gonna be big dollars! Do you think Dan Snyder will throw money at him if this is what he wants?

No doubt. Rearrange ROSENHAUS and you get SOURSE-N-HA. We all know spelling is not a forte of many football players so misspellings are common, I'm sure. And HA is universally accepted to mean "Joke's on you!" Pretty coincidental....and stupid.

I'm watching NFL live right now, and Mort just said that IF this move w/ Briggs does happen, the Bears want to wait a while for things to quiet down. Apparently their FO is worried that letting Briggs muscle his way off the team will hurt their locker room and send the wrong message, and they are annoyed with Rosenhaus for making so much noise. Mort says there is "a chance" the deal could happen before the draft.

why are signing bonuses allowed in the NFL? Intead of just raising the cap
